Ouch, this reminds me of iRex's DR1000s : they have the same problem with a USB port that is simply begging to be ripped off the system-board.

It's probably going to be difficult to solder a new USB port on the systemboard but you may find it easier to solder some simple electrical wires on those points. Which you can then extend outside the reader and at the end you can then solder your USB port.
