Many PCs will boot from a second or other port. The drives are usually sturdy. If you break them I can't guess how you did that.

If your talking about the connector on the ssd the short answer is no.
Those pins are part of the circuit board in the ssd that every thing is mounted on.
If you some how managed to damage that you buy a new ssd.
