Hello, I was switching CPUs and managed to bend a few pins, I put all of them back to their original position except 1 that somehow broke. I identified the pin, it's a VSS ground pin. My question is can I still use my CPU? Will it boot? Or will it just fry the CPU?

VSS and VCC pins are the most redundant pins in the socket, so will usually be fine even if multiple pins have poor or no contact. A large number of them are required given the huge amperage draw required at low voltages and to reduce inductance, but as there are more than enough of them, not all need to be connected.
