If it were me, I'd try replacing the connector first. Just cut off the old one and put on a new one.

If that doesn't work, see if the cable is loose enough to pull in one direction & the other.
If so, get yourself some RG-6 cable and crimp on RCA connectors from the above link. Cut off an end on the current cable, and tape the new cable to the old and pull it through.
Optionally use RG-59 cable, it will be thinner than RG-6. But RG-6 is better shielded.
If the cable doesn't move, it's likely held by cable ties/straps inside the walls. Replacing it would not be easy.
