You can buy replacement treble hooks and o-rings pretty cheap.

clip the rest of the broken part off and just run a double hook. you’ll still get hooked. i fished with a guy a couple weeks ago that had a broken treble from catching so many fish and just kept on fishing it and catching.

The hook is fine, just clip the rest of that point so it’s flush.
Some people clip the 3rd point on a treble on purpose. Less weeds, less tangling in the net, less likely the fish will get wounded.
I’m in the process of swapping all my trebles for single hooks, but I’ve got a couple of 2 point trebles that I broke while crimping barbs, and they work just fine.
And if it really bugs you, replacing the hook completely is cheap and easy.
