How seamless do you need it to be? Does it need to fit back into the same form factor exactly? If you have some wiggle room they sell small break out boards that have only positive and negative that you could likely use. But like the other commenter said you would still need to scrape the traces on the existing board, which is not terribly hard, it's the shouldering that'll be kinda tight but manageable.

If you need it to be exact, that is a taller task. Which you could make slightly easier if you replaced it with a micro USB. Which I know downgrading sucks, but soldering to a raw USB C port is much suckier.
