Dang, that's tough luck! The 1100 is a heavy bike and doesn't sit well on a soft surface which is why I carry a plastic "puck" for the sidestand if the surface is iffy.
This is a tough one and really comes down to your own decision and how much you want to spend.
However, since you plan to keep the bike, why not try to repair it as best you can. You have nothing to lose.
If it works, fine. If not, then I guess you'll have to bite the bullet and go for new or used if you can find it.
I had the same thing happen to me years ago with another new Honda I had, but luckily I was standing right next to the bike and was able to grab it as it slowly sank to the left. Phew, that was a close one
