It should still work fine, not as well as a rad without broken fins, but will still cool just fine.

Sould be fine as long as it's not leaking... It will be a little less efficient though...

As long as it's not broken then it will still work fine, you might just get slightly worse performance. If you ever look at the radiator of a car then you'll notice that only maybe 10% of the fins are actually intact.

I don't mind if it's not that cool as long as my processor doesn't get overheat

Broken or bent? A few bent fins won't hurt performance. It's the water channels running horizontal to the fins that should be intact.

Define a few?? couple of fins broken, no big deal. Whole row bent over or broken off, then you've got problems.

 

As long as the tubes are not damaged and not leaking, you'll be fine.
