An idea............... if it's the tubes that have cracked/broken you can potentially remove the glued end fittings by applying heat with a hot air gun (beware of "torpedo" like launching) and then replace the tubes (if you can find similar dimension tubing in a metal shop)

I've never done this myself but have read about it on here previously, but hey, it's worth a try as the strut is junk anyway! Let us know how you get on if you try it!
