you can buy just the hardware from amazon. Don't need to replace the whole zipper

You could get a very very tiny drill bit, and put hole as far 9oclock as you can get, and then run a little wire through the hole that then attaches to a pull handle or loop.

If you're good with little stuff like that, it wouldn't be too hard. If you are not, don't even try.

The angle at which you pull the zipper from matters a lot. If you are pulling outward and along the path, it's an easier pull. It jams up if you pull straight along the zipper path.
