I have a little bit of thermal paste stuck in the side of the socket and I'm wondering how I should clean it. It's kind of stuck and I can only think about using a tooth pick which won't get all of it out also the paste of not electrically conductive here is an image

Sorry for bad quality

Here's an image of the socket and where it would be more clearly

Just to clarify it's not in the sockets holes nor on the motherboard it's in the highlighted area. And the PC works

careful, but try a longer sowing needle or something similar to scoop it out. maybe wrap a layer of low-lint toilet paper around it first.

even if you can't get it out it shouldn't cause any problems being there.
