noob having problems socketing p72

Hey all this is my first post here, I wanted to run this by some of you to see if you could point me in the right direction.

I was trying to socket my p72 with my s200 system. Im having a difficulty getting the socket and the other chip to go all the way thru my circuit board. I dont have the tool to remove all the solder so i was trying to do it the harder way.

During this process, i noticed one or two of my little copper circuitry has peeled back some, This immediately scared me as I dont want to ruin this ecu. Can this be repaired? like lay it down and put a larger bead of solder in the places of error to ensure its connected?

Im about to just send it off because i lack these tedious skills, but I wanted to know before I send it to hondata, if this can be repaired or not?

You may have already damged the ecu beyond repair.

I went ahead and sent it out to an authorized hondata dealer today to have it socketed. He said there might be able to be something done being that the circuitry is right near the hole it just needs to be briged to the solder holes some way.

Im hopeing it can be repaired, he said he can continuity test the wires in question to hopefully give me some leadway if its good to go or not.

I guess worst case im out about 100 for a obd1 p72? Wheres a good place to pick one up?
