The CPU socket is done with and must be replaced. The CPU legs need to be cleaned very thoroughly (fresh solder wouldn't hurt). You'll have to clean up the rest as well - use vinegar to neutralize the battery alkali and scrub with a toothbrush.

It's 'only' 64 pins, but still a bit of a nuisance...
Anyway, I'd prefer quality sockets (round contacts) over the cheap stock sockets greatly.
