One pin missing from lga 1151 socket, am I screwed?

Decided to put together a new build recently and have been slowly acquiring parts. Msi krait motherboard I ordered finally showed up today but upon inspection it is missing a single pin. I'd like to know if there's anything I can do to bypass the notoriously awful tiger direct rma and make it work somehow.

Hi Itsnotdinner,

I'm afraid not, once a CPU pin is damaged the board must be replaced. Nothing to be done but RMA 🙁

Dang I figured as much. Oh well, just shot them an email. Couldn't go through the regular link because I used visa checkout.. Weird. They're website is so sketchy and archaic. I should have known the $25 off $100 visa checkout was gonna cost more in the long run..
