So today I took my computer to a specialist, will get a verdict tomorrow.
In the process of boxing up my two extra CPUs I dropped my Ryzen 7 from about 2 inches right back onto the cooler. The drop broke two pins and bent about 10.
I straightened the pins that weren't broken, and cleaned the board with 90% isopropyl.
I took a random wire from some junk lying around, split the ends, and figured out that three of them twisted are about the diameter of the other pins. So I fluxed the twisted wires, soldered the strands together, and soldered them to the board. In the process I accidentally fused two of the pins together, so I used a solder vacuum to get the solder off. It worked, but broke another pin. So after making another pin and getting both on, straightening everything out, and testing the pins for strength, I've got a CPU with all pins connected, but I'm not too sure how CPUs are put together in the first place. Is this going to work?
The new pins are about .05mm longer than the others, and one of them is a bit thick, too much solder on one side. If the thickness becomes a problem I can hopefully run the soldering iron up the pin and pick up the extra.
I made a monocle out of the eyepiece of a scope so I could see. Taped it to my head haha.

The third picture with the badly soldered and bent pin is before I took that one off and resoldered a new one, which can be seen in the first two pictures.
