Can Open Pro Eyelets be replaced

I have an open pro wheel with ~10K miles on it that had one spoke pull
through the eyelet. The eyelet did not pull through the rim wall,
rather the spoke pulled thought the base of the eyelet where the
nipple rests. It is possible to put a new eyelet on the rim, if so
where would I get such a part? Would it need to be swaged at a shop
(there are no good ones around here)?

I have been acused of not always getting the obvious, but why do yo
need a new eyelet?

Did the nipple head break off?
If so, why not get a new nipple, clean & lube, install, tension
stress relieve

No, there is nothing wrong with the nipple, the hole in the eyelet
that holds the nipple is now larger then the nipple.
