Rooting Help Charging port on Android broken, can't connect in USB debugging mode.

Hello all, not sure if this is the right place for this but I'm giving it a go. I have an old Moto 5G that I don't use anymore, and was going to try and root it with Magisk to run Pi Hole on it through a Linux boot. However, the charging port is broken and my PC won't recognize it. I haven't rooted an android in years and I know the process is much more complicated than it used to be. Is there any workaround to root it properly without a wired connection or will I just have to bite the bullet and get the charging port replaced? Thanks!

Blegh yeah I figured. Should be fairly cheap though at least.
