Chop It
Since the cord is shorting, we ultimately want to cut out the place where the short is and splice the good parts back together. Go ahead and chop the cable off now as it will just get in the way if you have to open the case.

The short in my adapter was so close to the point where the cord enters the casing that I needed to open up the case to get to the length of good cord inside. Apple doesn't expect these cases to be opened and, as such, they super-glued them shut. This makes opening them a real pain.
