Electric socket breaker

 Electric socket easily replaced, breaks without ruining the appliance

Your phone socket got bent and moved out of place, and now you can't recharge it, because "the contacts are broken".

With this half-breakery idea installed on your phone, this time there's no need to take the phone to the technician because all you need to do is replace the standard electric socket breaker. And by the way, you can replace it with a regular mini USB that fits the 30 old chargers in your house.

But you'll still find that only one of your 30 chargers actually charges the phone properly https://xkcd.com/1892/

       Does a Magnetic USB cable [link] meet your needs?

       Sounds like what you need is a "port saver". For phones, those are most commonly available in the form of "magnetic adsorption" adapters.
