I agree that any transformer can have a winding replaced, but would it be cost effective, particularly with a small transformer? It would probably be cheaper to buy a new unit.

If the transformer has a shorted winding, I expect it would go up in
smoke in short order!

Any transformer can have a winding replaced - they were actually
assembled that way.
