The main structure appears intact. The exposed copper on the side seems a bit concerning, but it probably just forms the ground plane and there are no traces near the edge on the top layer, so it should be okay. It might not be wise to have the IHS touch that area directly, so covering it with a clear nail polish layer could be a good option.
should be fine.. i don't see a point in delidding a old pentium that is Already soldered to the ihs
I don't unless it's just for testing before doing something much costlier. Doing practice is always good, so that remains a solid reason.
Why are you trying to remove the copper layer? It's a built-in component of the CPU, so you can't take it off.
I raised the CPU temperature using a heat gun to a high level so the solder would melt, which led to the burnt PCB.
