So it sounds like it's going to be easier to just replace the whole thing.

Ah ha. Yeah then you are most likely going to be better off replacing the valve. The pictures make it look as though you can cut the copper on either side and then unscrew the valve from the opposite side. Looks like it should be a fairly quick and easy swap.
Be sure to use the Teflon tape or paste on all the threads. Sometimes unlike metals don't want to seal up without a little help.
