If this fails cut the wire 2” or so from the plug and tape the ends of. Maybe the next owner can fix it correctly or ignore it.
Good luck.
Thanks... I'll give it one last shot with your advice...with a major problem being that my 60 year old eyes are bugging out of my head and I can barely see this stuff, even with a magnifying glass.
If I can't get it, the wire shall be cut as I use a wide range of four letter words upon it.
