Subject:Fuse Box Misery

1991 Multivan.
My fusebox developed a burnt fuse holder on the 20 amp fuse that powers the
door lock actuators for the central locking system.  I was testing out
replacement of the old defunct actuator with a new eurovan replacement and
obviously crossed wires.  The fuse, instead of just blowing nicely,
basically incinerated itself.  I'm starting the process of extracting the
busted up fuse and wondered if anyone has done anything similar and had any
advice.  Can I replace the connectors for the fuse holder?  Or is this the
process of extracting the broken fuse bits with small pick tools and
polishing the fuse blade holders individually?
I understand that I can replace the entire fuse block but would like to
avoid that.
Thanks for the help.
Brent
