Unlikely to be repairable without some questionable dissasembly. Those
switches are usually made with little metal tabs bent to hold on the back plate
insulator. The tabs have to be be unbent to remove, and then rebent to reinstall.
There's probably some impressive spring assembly in there, as well (to take care of
the rotational spring, and the push-in spring).
