You can, probably, replace your valve section for $2000.
You could have your valves rebuilt for about $1000 (and, yes, stainless steel can be nickel plated if properly pre-treated).
How much would surgery to your injured hand cost?
How much money would you be willing to accept before you would allow someone to injure your hand so that you lose some or all functionality for the rest of your life?

Modify your valve button to suit your hand; B&S valves are so picky about side forces that they will be sticking like crazy long before any damage occurs.
