I think replacing the socket is not an option for you. it could be expensive and a no-guaranties job. The best you can do, work with a super tiny and strong, jewelery pliers;
stg like this;http://www.amazon.com/Xuron-Jewelers-Super-Pliers-Chain/dp/B000VGCBWI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333381820&sr=8-1

and do it yourself. you have to use a magnifier. and make sure the height of the pins must be similar if not equal to the others. there are springs underneath those pins, so you still have a chance to succeed. I can give it a try if you want me to, just pay the two-way shipping+tools, I'll do it for fun. (I'm in NYC)

 Repair of SuperMicro Motherboard With Bent Processor Pins

Robert L Cochran <coch...@speakeasy.net> Apr 01 10:05PM -0400  

Greetings!
 
I have a recently purchased SuperMicro motherboard, the H8SGL-F-O, which
refused to POST or show any video when I turned the completed system on.
I sent it back to the seller, Newegg.com, as an RMA. They inspected the
board and emailed me to say the processor contact pins on the processor
socket are "bent beyond repair." They cancelled the RMA and returned the
board to me.
 
Accepting that the socket pins are bent, is this a repairable item? This
board is a socket G34 for AMD Opteron 6100/6200 series processors. I
have opened a support case with Supermicro to see if they can repair the
board. I am wondering if anyone on this list has an opinion about
whether it can be repaired. If it can be, what price would you want to
attempt the repair for me? Please contact me offlist if interested.
 
Thanks
