This was a challenging one, but in the end I got a work disc version PS5 for $250. The PS5 board soaks up a lot of heat, so getting the old one off was a challenge. Luckily on this one, the port itself was damaged and the pads were all good. I did it a snag by not heating the ground pins enough, which gave it just enough wiggle to have a pin come loose (should have set the iron to 450c to begin with). Also decided to replace the liquid metal while I was there. It’s not necessary but the console was dirty enough that the extra heat oxidized the existing compound a lot.

You can find plenty of replacement ports all over the Internet and I used Thermal Grizzly liquid metal.
