Default Long VGA BNC Cable in wall with loose BNC connector

Hi,
We've recently moved into a condo that has a long VGA-BNC cable wired
from a homerun location to our living room. The blue (not that it
matters) BNC connector is loose so our VGA signal occassionally looses
color. Replacing this cable isn't an option so I'd like to simply
replace the BNC connector.

I assume this involves somehow stripping the cable and clamping on a
new BNC connector. The outer diameter of the blue cable/wire is on the
order of 3/32".

Knowing nothing about hardware (hey, I'm a software guy :-), I don't
know whether there is a wire under the insulation that needs to be
stripped or a coax type wire that needs a more sophisticated tool to
strip it. Also, is there a standard size for the wire end of the BNC
connector?

Any pointers in the correct direction for solving this problem would be
appreciated. Clearly, if this wasn't embedded in our wall, I would
just buy a new cable.
Thanks,
arn
