Ill do you one better. My cousin came to me for tech support. He bought a new CPU, but the memory error light kept coming on when he tried to boot. Then he told us, he had tried another mothboard, but it didn't fit. He had tried to fit a ryzen 9 5900X into his old intel motherboard, and had bent the pins. We couldn't recover it, and he ended up buying a new new CPU.

I bent some pins on my AMD cpu once while pulling off the cooler (yes, the chip came right out of the socket). It was hard to get the cpu off of the heatskink, but I was able to bend a pin or two back enough that it fit in the socket. Very lucky that it worked.
