There are no unimportant pins in CPU socket.

But CPU, namely CPU cooler pressure on CPU can force bent pin back to it's correct position.

Btw, your image link doesn't work. I got 404 Error.

There are no unimportant pins in CPU socket.

Some pins are for ground connection.
Those are less important, because multiple of them serve the same purpose.
