Sometimes bending pins might lead to short circuits or overheating, which can damage the CPU.
A poor link anywhere causes issues. A single connection can power many parts of the CPU; if faulty, it raises current usage and damages nearby sections. In short, a short circuit leads to immediate destruction. The impact varies based on how well the wiring is set up. Everything is linked, but the extent matters.
If you install a new CPU, it might be worth it depending on your needs. (Apology for the unclear English)
How did this occur? Was there a misalignment somewhere? Have you attempted to clean the CPU and tried the "burnt" version again? That too carries its own dangers, but at least it avoids replacing the CPU entirely. With these kinds of issues, it's unpredictable how much damage happened. A fresh CPU could function, or the motherboard might be damaged and ruin the new one.
