You could try repairing the thread by placing the ajuster back in and building up some liqued metal putty stuff around it.

If you mean the adjuster and not the housing they come on new cables. Try spraying your bike with WD40 then it wont get in that state.

Your PV isn't broken.

Take it off. Remove the undamaged cable and cut off the other one. Put it in the oven for half an hour an 50degrees then put the adjuster in a vice and screw it out.

Any insurance assessor will laugh at you.
