Well considering you already can't use the motor because the tabs are broken off there is no reason not to try. Additionally you only have to melt through a tiny bit of plastic so you can get a bit of solder on there. Its not like you are holding the soldering iron there for 30 seconds, its more of a just a touch and the plastic around it melts away enough to get solder to stick.
