This is how that plastic joint works. It's not reversible and not really something a homeowner will have the tools for.
Replacing the guts of the valve is likely your best bet.
You could also cut the plastic pipe and press on a sharkbite valve. That might be the easiest way to go.

Does Sharkbite press directly onto Pex, or would I need to buy anything else?

Sharkbite works with pex, copper, and cpvc.

They make a poly fitting but they are limited in functionality. You could use a poly coupler, transition to pex then use a sharkbite
