Msi z87 g45 pin issue (fixed)

[Clumdedum]

Hi all, I got this motherboard alongside a case and power supply I bought second hand, I noticed that there were some missing pins on the socket when I got home. Well I thought they were completely broken off but after taking some super zoomed it photos I think I see the pins and that they are bent into the pins behind them...is this possible to fix with some precision or is it actually doomed for the dump?

Ps, I do have a i5 4690k in my current system but the motherboard is from an oem so no overclocking that's why I'm hopeful so I can use this in my system.

I just fixed it aha, used a sewing needle and some time, got all pins back and did a test everything works fine I was correct in thinking that they got bent back so this is a rare occasion where I actually fixed something aha. 

 

I'll add more if I see any abnormal behaviours.
