I have a few pins that are damaged and a couple are bent badly. It began with just one bend, and someone suggested using a knife which only made things worse. The CPU is an R5 5600X.

Could you share an image of it? If you're okay with it, attempt to straighten them again using a suitable tool or device that fits between the pins without distorting others. If that fails, consider sending it to a nearby repair service.

Bent pins on AMD CPUs often come back to their original position using a thin knife or tweezers if you have a steady grip. Damaged pins need to be removed by desoldering before installing new ones, which demands a hot-air rework station to melt the solder and fresh pins. If a repair shop is nearby, consider asking them if they can handle the soldering.
