Anyone succeeded in doing anything like this?


Yes. ;-)

Depending on loads of variables you may be able to scrape some of the
insulation off the 'track' a bit away from the suspected break and
solder a fine wire to it (might not be pretty but can work, paint and
tape over it when finished / tested).

I've done such on the flexi-cables they often use on motorbike /
scooter dash clusters these days grrrr.

Working on the basis you have nothing to lose ... ?
