It might be possible, but it's not very likely. I don’t have a more accurate response because I couldn’t locate the pinout for DDR3 DIMM modules.

Some users on Reddit are warning others that a particular pin might damage their motherboard, power supply unit, and CPU. Are they just joking around or is there real concern?

Are you referring to the small residue on the pins? It seems fine enough, it doesn't appear too damaged. If needed, you might want to clean it slightly. Alcohol is most effective since it dries quickly, though water can also work (just ensure it dries completely). Moisten a cloth or tissue and gently scrub the pins.

Edit: You mentioned the second pin from the left is missing. Uncertain about that.

try to rub the pin with a bit of alcohol, in case it's just dirt

The gold sheet fell away easily, yet the component behind it appeared intact. I examined the PCB, and the pin seemed unnecessary.

It’s completely clean—no dirt detected. If I locate the DDR3 DIMM pinout, it might help me understand the connection or configuration.

I believe the missing pin on the left is likely the ground connection. Checking the pinout for DDR3 can clarify its function—if it’s just ground, it works; if it’s a signal pin, the RAM won’t operate properly.

Make sure the gold finger is securely back in position for proper function; otherwise, the tool may fail or behave unpredictably. You're welcome to attempt it, but be prepared for possible issues.
