I’m not following your question is it the systems SD card slot that’s damaged or the BaseQi SD card holder unit you have in the systems SD slot? Replacing microSD carrier would be my recommendation if that’s the issue. It might be hard to remove but it can be done without damaging the system.
If the systems SD slot is damaged. While not ideal, I would recommend just getting a USB-C hub or stand alone unit which offers the function as replacing the logic board unit is not easy and finding the correct replacement unit would be difficult and likely costly (finding a junker to salvage it)
So the external case you have USB cable looks a bit rough so maybe getting a new one is the answer here!

I may just get a new device. Until then I've stuck an SSD on the lid as I have shown in my updated question.

@simonron ah. So its not about the card slot on the MBP but your external reader! Yup, new one might just be the fix. Best of luck.
