Help! Z490 Motherboard bent pin

I just bought a MSI motherboard but i accidentally dropped my phone on it when i was checking (not dropping directly to the CPU socket). It is a Z490-i Unify board.

I found that one of the pins on the CPU socket seems bent. I have search on the internet that fixing bent pin seems not very difficult. People just use tweezers to reposition the pins.

Can anyone give me some advice/ opinion for that? Or I should simply go for the warranty service and pay for repair services (hope that they would have)?

Do you think the motherboard could still work?(I don't have any intel 10th gen processor on hand)

 

Thank you very much.

So every pin on the board is crucial?

yes, they won't add a pin for no reason, it is very crucial, if one pin is bent, and you can't fix it, that obo is dead
