Bending pins is quite easy, too.

Aren't there some sockets that use an LGA where the pins are recessed and only come up when you close the lever?

If I'm not dreaming, that kinda seems ideal.

Of course there are solutions, but not even in CPU sockets these are overwhelmingly employed (i. e. depends on your mobo tier). Also, there are other types of sockets with bendable pins, I know this because that's how only one of my two front USB ports works as intended.
