Shoot! I should have updated...
It is some sort of epoxy or pot plastic. I tried drilling it out and ended up destroying the wires. Then I tried melting it out and I got the torch way too close; I melted the housing.
Luckily I had a second broken one, and I heated it with the torch again, but much slower. I was able to dig it all out. As mentioned, the wires are soldered onto posts, so I re-did that and filled it in with silicon (rather than epoxy). The silicon will allow the wires to move without breaking like an epoxy might. Plugged it in and it works.
