For a low-amperage cable, I'd replace the whole whip. It's unlikely you have the proper crimper to put a new handle on, and it would suck to try that and fail, or learn that there are frayed strands in your cable.
One of the most common failures is the cable strands break down internally where it exits the handle, and starts to get a hot spot. Some will break the much thinner pilot wire and that usually ends the whip.
