It's not even damaged, just literally little silver wires coming out the end that connects the head.

The silver wires are just shielding wires, so as long as the actual wires inside are presumably fine, it isn't dangerous. (Edit: But if you start seeing your phone connect and disconnect if you gently wiggle the area, that would suggest that there is an issue with the wires). It should last long enough to get a recommended cable from Amazon which will be better than anything Apple or Belkin will sell you. Also, if your newest one wasn't already a 6-footer, get one. Having a little slack will put it under less stress if you're using it in bed.
Hell, for the cost of the Belkin/Apple, you can probably buy a long and a short one if you wanted to.
