The risk of a straightened pin being brittle and breaking inside the socket is too great. Short circuits do not forgive.

So very true. It's a last ditch effort for sure. Get lucky fix the pins or fry the board and chip. I'd be leery about the socket at this point anyway. The risk is worth it because I'd never trust either after that. If it was my fun computer maybe, work or customer computer I'm shopping for board and chip.
