Yes, these are repaired all the time. It was fairly common for the RD to overshift into the spokes breaking the dropout (that's why most frames now replaceable hangers). A good repair will preserve the micro adjust, a more crude one won't so if it breaks, you can PM me & I'll give you some names of shops that still know how to fix these right.
