(maybe dumb) question about needles

A while ago I accidently hit the needle exactly and it was all bent over. I tried bending it back but it's messed up (noise and tends to skip aloooot), so I'll need a new one.
Now do I need to buy a new element, or is there a way to replace only the needle on my old element (stanton 500AL)?
in the old days needles would cost a couple of bucks as opposed to the 45 euro of a new element (or cartridge or whatever the things are called)
tnx in advance |

| You can buy a new tip (the blue part), you don't have to replace the whole cartridge. If your local shops stock the tips for the 500 is a different matter though. |

| yeah you can definately buy the stylus seperately from the cartridge. |
