So I broke some pins on the USB 3.0 connector on my Motherboard and now I can't use the USB 3.0 ports on my case. Help?

Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro

I recently moved my build from my old case into my new Enthoo Pro. When I tried connecting the USB 3.0 cable from the case into the motherboard, some of the pins broke on the motherboards USB 3.0 port rendering it useless. I don't know how this happened, I was extremely careful and when I did it with the old case no pins were broken and I had no issues.

Regardless, now I have two USB 3.0 ports on my case that are essentially useless. Is there anything I can do aside from replacing the motherboard/trying to reattach the pins to get these ports up and running on my case? I'd even settle for using them as USB 2.0 ports. Is there some kind of adapter or anything?

Thanks for any help.
