Very bad that these tips can break off at that point, that should be covered by warranty imo.

If you go that way, your best bet is to buy some modeller's glue with a fine syringe needle (like Revell Contacta), and then put a single drop on a surface to try out if it isn't too much.
I wouldn't go that way though.
Heating a needle and push it as hard as you can into the plastic seems to be the best way IMHO
EDIT: does anybody know of a ballpoint-like cover that prevents this?
