Without actually looking at it, my thought is to braze it and add some
extra metal, then file it square again.  If that would heat the cable
sheath too much, then make the hole in the cap considerable larger, make an
insert to fit the hole and epoxy it onto the cable end.  Epoxy would be too
soft to use simply to square up the cable again, but adding a little width
and giving it a metal skin should do nicely.
