Default how to fix wing strut attachment

I had a minor mishap with my Stearman (ran into tall grass/weeds). The result was I had broken the tabs the wing struts attach to (pictures attached). How would YOU go about repairing these?
I really don't want to disturb the top of the wing if avoidable.
It seems the "tabs" are incorporated into a ply rib which is "sandwiched" between two outer ribs.
Any ideas?
