CPU repair

[MD72A]

I accidently and carelessly bent a pin on my old CPU that I am using to build a Home Theatre PC for my family. It is a Ryzen 5 3600X. I haven't found anyone near me that does this sort of repair, and I trust this community the most to help find someone who does. Thanks!!

How bad is it? Is the pin just bent or is it actually broken? You should be able to just bend it back yourself.

Not broken as far as I can see. It is bent into the next row of pins. honestly don't know how I did it. I don't have anything small enough to get under it safely.
