I own five Ryzen processors already, so they're not available on the market right now. However, spending $100 would be acceptable if the CPU functions properly.

I’d spend my extra 100 dollars to repair it. But I’m not sure if it will actually help. If I were swapping out the pins, I’d use a soldering iron with a paperclip as the tool. That approach has already been tried before—it performed surprisingly well and used less solder waste.

I've replaced the pins and added a tiny wire through the hole to extend beyond the socket. It also helped. The 940 socket (not an AM2) doesn’t use the same approach for vcore upgrades.
