This is how I repaired mine about 3.5 years ago. Make another terminal block and glue it to the tweeter cage. Remember to keep the same tension for the ribbon. Good luck.

Thanks. The picture is hard to see. Is that just aluminum foil on a block with a screw in the middle?

I used a quick connect tab glued on the block and use back the original screw and clamp for the ribbon. You need to drill a small hole through the quick connect tab (for the clamp screw) before mounting it on the block. Make sure ribbon contact areas/edge are very smooth/rounded.
Check that your tweeter wire has enough slack to reach the new terminal.

Take a look at Top Hardware QC Tabs.
The quick connect tab that I used looks like type QC26.
Type QC19 might be better if the narrow part is wider than the ribbon.
