my 486 dx 33 was horribly bent, worse than your dx2 66, luckily i got them unbent with a mechanical pencil and a ISA/PCI slot bracket.

I use a heavy needle between the rows and just lift up for very bent pins. After that I use a CPU pry bar I got with a 68040 Mac upgrade and use that to finish straitening up slightly crooked pins. Anything strong straight and thin will do.

I use an exacto knife blade or a razor to get the whole row out at once. I've also dealt with CPUs that looked like someone had stomped on them and gotten them back to working condition. This is nothing 😉

I had a couple of pins on my DX4-100 OverDrive processor that were slightly bent.
