Best solution

This is new, are you sure that it's like glue stuck on? Try to lift it from two sides as AMD CPUs have pins attached to their botton side(Intel chips rest on top of motherboard pins).

Ended up pulling straight out via a pliers on the metal sides, using considerable force. guess it could have been corrosion or burned contacts tho didnt see evidence of either... hopefully i didn't damage the CPU, the test will be how/if it works with new mommyboard.
