The card was just being inserted like normal--no excessive force. Like I said even before it broke the SD reader wasn't working. When I held the boot button down and applied power the Beaglebone never flashed any lights to show it go through booting (even after waiting 10+ seconds with the button held down). After fixing the solder joints on the SD reader the exact same SD card booted up just fine on the first try. Clearly there was something wrong with the joint before it broke.
Also for what it's worth I'm noticing wonkiness with the USB connector which is near the SD card reader. When I plug devices like mice, etc. in and run lsusb I don't see any new USB devices. Going to try testing the USB connections with a multimeter to see if they're all connected.
