I believe the CPUs are actually socketed.

This mini still holds a lot of siliconâlet's take a look!

In theory it's possible, you need to go to a specialist shop that can do that kind of electronics "repair" along with a compatible CPU for that board, Apple being Apple may have only approved the CPU's that ship with it in the UEFI firmware so it just might not work with anything else.

Hi, i thought we can't upgrade the RAM or anything because of the T2 chip no?

That's just storage. AFAIK T2 doesn't touch anything but the drives.
