Repair RB4xx series board which have taken surges?

I now have an RB450G and a RB493G which have taken lightning strikes despite the lightning protection equipment.

In both cases there was a small 8 pin IC near the power input jack which is blown apart. That IC is the only visible damage.

Would it be possible to identify and replace those ICs?

I’m not that good with a soldering iron, but I think we have one guy here who could handle it.

I’ve got a box full of RB411’s I wouldn’t mind sending in for repair, as long as I could get them fixed for around $20 each.
