You could definitely replace the handle as that’s attached on the outside. Before doing anything dramatic, I’d shoot everything with some PB Blaster and let it soak in that. You could even remove the hose (with the valve closed), suck the water out, and shoot some down there.
If that doesn’t work, I think your only next step would be to deal with this during your next haulout. You certainly cannot open the valve with no hose while it’s in the water.
