Back in the days of the X2 3800+ I tried to remove a heatsink and ended up taking the heatsink off but ended up ripping the CPU from its socket ending up with it stuck firmly to the bottom of the heatsink

Is this still a thing likely to happen with a ryzen system?
 
Thanks reason for wanting to remove the cooler is for the last week or so my idle temps are in the mid 70s so want to remove and give the cooler a good cleaning and replace the paste.
