maxximuscool: You might be able to just run a jumper-wire from the metal USB-port casing to ground somewhere else on the board(I assume the little pin's hard to solder to); Not sure if it'll work, but it might.

You could test it by:
1. Plug a usb cable into the port.
2. With a multi-meter, test between the shield/ground of the microUSB port and the ground pin(or perhaps casing) of the USB-A side of the cable for continuity.
If the resistance is low, you're good.
