Sad to say, but I have used CPUs that have been missing 1 or more pins and they ahve worked. I got a 386SX a few years back from a friend, and it worked fine. I pulled it apart to clean it out and about 7 pins were bent over touching each other, but amazingly it still worked. Its up to you, but you can give it a shot and see what happens. Its not really recommended though. As far as repair, check this link out.
