Is there any way to repair or replate fingers like

tinning them with solder would prevent oxidization, but this would
make that 'finger' much too thick, and risks damaging the connector it

boards like this, and it works for a while, until you go to unplug and
replug it, and the destoyed connector no longer mates with the board
correctly.)
Yes, there is a way to refurb the plating. See:

Small, fairly inexpensive kits for brush plating.
