Solution
I bent pins back as good as I could. Installed Skylake 6700K and it works! Missing pin and all. Did the Intel Burn Test and it passed. Can't believe it. The missing pin must not be needed. I am afraid to take it apart to figure out which pin is missing.

I would *never* put new, damaged motherboard into a build. That's what the RMA process is for. Inspect the motherboard, take photos showing the unopened, sealed processor in the box so there isn't an accusation of you having damaged the board yourself, and RMA it.
*aside. Why do motherboards ship in unsealed boxes and with unsealed anti-static wrap? It really removes the 1st line of defense a consumer has in proving pre-existing damage.

Very true, I normally buy via the web and always video opening the shipping box, mobo box and examining the mobo - in particular the socket for this very reason. Has saved me a couple of times and a few of my clients
