Replacing broken lock pin in ignition coil harness?

Okay, how screwed am I?

I managed to break off one of the red locking pins in the plug that connects an ignition coil to the wiring harness. These are the (apparently very fragile) plastic pins that need to be pulled up before you can pull the connector off the ignition coil. I pulled up on the pin head, except it broke off instead of just popping up!

Luckily, the connector is stuck ON the ignition coil so the car still runs fine. I'm hoping a tiny screwdriver will let me remove the remains of the pin that is keeping the connector locked, but I'd like to get this fixed. Any idea if the red pin itself can be replaced without needing a whole new connector? Or if a whole new connector is needed, is there a way to change it out without requiring a new wiring harness?
