Dismantle it and put the blank back on the lathe and turn off the damaged end square and all the way to the tube, leaving a short piece of brass tube exposed. Then drill and glue a contrasting piece of blank onto the end of the blank to replace the turned off portion. Turn the contrasting piece down to blend into the existing blank. Everyone will think you did it on purpose!
