Z690 socket damage

I just bought this board as part of a bundle today and discovered a lot of pin damage on the socket.

Is there a repair option or is it not worth saving?

It's a Z690 ROG hero ( without the dodgy memory capacitor)

Thanks

It was supposed to be good but I noticed the damage when I was collecting and got enough of a discount that this board was effectively free.

It's not been powered on like this. CPU was sold a while ago.

Steady hand might be the biggest issue

Yeah he did try and accused me of causing the damage in the end. It was a Face to face transaction. I've now sold this on as damaged

I only noticed when I was putting it in to my car. I took the side off the case again to make sure that I could position the loose fans away from the socket.
