Amazingly I accidentally toasted my phone's battery charging port while sleeping. (My face mask fell on the device and the phone got wet from it)

I can't find any good source for charging port only and looks like my only option is to get the whole motherboard which is very pricey. Any one have a better suggestion for my issue?

I can't charge the phone anymore -last time I tried there was a stench of burning electronic, it will charge for a bit then stop charging inevitably.
I can't use it as tether or USB device to get my files.

I'm using my battery pack to remedy this issue.

I have a solution, although it may not be ideal. But you can buy an external battery wall charger. Then you can swap between two batteries.

Look for a qi back charger that can be used to charge it wirelessly?

The shipping free for ebay hurts.

My current setup is interchanging 2 batteries and charging them on my battery pack
As per the wireless charging -- I was hoping I could still use my device as tether or as usb drive </3

The reason the port is not available separately is because it's soldered to the main board, not easy to replace unlike the headphone jack, loudspeaker, screen, and vibration motor
