After cleaning the tip of the tip to bright copper as Tautech advised, *DONT* put it in the iron, as by the time it heats up enough to melt solder with its very small cross section it will have oxidised again*. Wrap its shank with a strip of paper for thermal insulation, and pop it in a metal jawed clamp (or a pair of pliers with a rubber band round the handles) to stop it rolling away from you on your bench, then tin it with solder and flux as-if it was a component pin using a heavy duty tip in your iron.
* The only way tinning it in the iron can work is if you use solder paste applied cold and wrap the tip tightly in aluminum foil to hold the paste against it and exclude air as it heats up.
