OK, what TIM cleaner do you have? Try a little bit between the CPU cooler and CPU, then work the CPU free by twisting it. You should have really twisted the cooler a little whilst the CPU was still in place to free it. I wouldn't recommend putting it back in unless you 100% know you're not going to damage the pins.
