Probably no way to repair the rounded out sleeve. Could buy a turtle from Ebay.

Maybe try this "Farmer Fix" first.
If you can still find a flat wood tooth pick (or make something similar), stick the wide end of it into the sleeve as a shim, break off the excess length, and then force the cable into the sleeve with that shim to tighten the connection of the cable too the sleeve.
