You’ll need tools for desoldering and re-soldering, a new set of pins, and possibly a reflow oven if you’re doing rework. Keep the components clean and follow proper safety steps. A good tip is to practice on scrap parts first.

Tweezers, a magnifying glass, and a Bible in hand.

Alternatively, a razor blade could also assist.

Tried to fix two pins, but the other one is stuck and hard to move without risking damage.

The pin might still function properly if it fits well, though minor bending could affect performance or longevity over time.
