yea its new, thats what im looking into doing rn

That doesn't look good at all.  Looks like its a small dent in one of the pads.

It might work perfectly fine but it might also cause major issues.

 

Get a refund and get a new CPU since this is a new one.

 

What CPU is it?

From what I see VDD_MISC might have something to do with voltage.

For such a new CPU I wouldn't accept anything but perfect looking pads. 
RMA and get a replacement.
