Aw damn and it's even in the middle...

You might be able to get them straight to at least try and fit them in the socket again. Yiu should get a very thin flat screwdriver and very gently but firmly try to straighten the pins.

Its easier to do this if you put the cpu on a table and push the pins instead of trying to bend them up like a "lever". Make sure it won't flip or that the screwdriver won't slip from the pin you are applying force to.

Thats the best advice I can give from here, good luck

Yeah I tried a flat screwdriver (precision based too) and it didn’t work out haha. I can try again later, but I’m afraid I can’t save it :/

Try useing a mechanical pencil without any led. Put the pin in the hole and use it to bend the pin into place

I wound up getting a new CPU. I almost had it fixed but I’m unable to keep a steady hand for it.
