The problem with those tiny USB sockets is .. the soldering is done underside the connector, so special hot air solder is needed.
Special hot air solder?? Nah, any solder can be reworked with hot air, just dial the temperature up to the right point and be patient. Less solder and more flux is a good mantra to have - use too much solder and it may wick up into connector.
Solder _paste_ might be what you are thinking of, but for rework the existing solder is usually enough, just add some more rosin as flux so it will run properly.
The best, most robust microUSB sockets have through-hole pegs for mechanical strength.
There are many different footprints for these sockets, you probably need to know the precise part number to replace it.
