I'm assuming those two amber studs in the photo are rivets whose heads are on the bottom of the frame (because they appear to match the rivets on the pass-through frame piece). You would need to snip and remove them to extract the stripped piece and replace it with an entirely new handle assembly.

If you snip out the old piece on the road, you might be able to run something tough like baling twine through the resulting holes, then run the twine into the cabin and tie it off onto a dowel. That would at least give you positive latching for the rest of the trip.
