Yes this is simple!
In marlin open your pins folder for your controller card and exchange the pin numbers for broken Z with the Pins on E1
This will change the status of E1 to work as the new Z driver and the broken driver Z will be unused it not connected.
This has worked on my controllers though it is possible that more damage was caused an this exchange may not fix the problem.
I changed my X with E1 and remarked out E1 with a different controller board.
