Troubleshooting • Wonky USB power after years of use. How else to power?

$

After running my Pi 3B+ for years 24/7, the weight of the power cable must have lead to a wonky connection of the USB connector, as the Pi doesn't reliably get power through it's USB power port anymore, regardless of the power supply and the USB cable used.

I'd like to continue using the Pi if possible.

What are my options? Been thinking about using the official Pi power supply, cutting of the USB end and then soldering the wires directly to the 5V and ground pins of the GPIO.
