Hi guys does anyone here know of any person or company that can replace the CPU socket on a motherboard if the pins on the motherboard is bent?

There are upwards of 6 layers on a motherboard, with through-hole vias for the ZIF which is baked onto it. It's not cost effective to try and replace it. It may be possible to straighten them depending how many, but you run the risk of breaking the CPU when it's torqued down. Sorry, be more careful. How on earth does this happen anyway...
 
Not sure how I bent it. I think what happened was I spilled thermal paste onto the socket and then tried to clean if off . With a sharp object.
