OK, I made a mistake. I thought it is a flat litz. It was not. It was a single wire. They made a small harness from 5 or 6 wires and soldered it as a lead, and them flat-fixed it to the universal-wound coil, so it looked a bit like what I thought it would be. So when I cut the harness and pulled, it was just one wire.
After 30 turns it came off, and there were another 213 turns left, as I found out. Undamaged. So, considering it is a primary, I could've just leave it with 213 turns. But no, I decided to give it an all new winding, which will require 0.11mm (probably AWG38 considering insulation) wire, 243 turns of it, wound between two temporary bobbin flanges which I will make of some paper.
Ok, it is not too bad.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
