I retrieved a good P5Q3 Deluxe.
Electrically seems fine, but the socket miss two pins.
One is non essential (VSS), but the other is AL6 that from datasheet is VID3.
What can I do apart from throwing it?
Is there a way to fix it or at least let her stay with a single cpu forever somehow (X5450)?

Well, the most thorough fix would be to replace the socket. Some repair shops are equipped to do this, but it may cost more than the Mainboard is worth right now.
It's something that could be done at home and the socket + expendable material would come in at about 5€, but there's a lot of equipment and knowledge involved.

I may have someone who can do the work for me. What should I buy and where?
A getto solution like a wire into the missing VID3 hole?
Sorry for my ignorance, but I am not sure what I should do.
In short, I would like to use a X5450 cpu (modded), what I need to do? Taking out other pins?
At the moment it is not posting.
now you can open P5Q3 DELUXE 1.02,B1A.FZ
OpenBoardView loads the board reversed/mirrored, Do as Missy Elliott told you and click 'Space M R R' to flip it and reverse it.
CTRL-F and type H_VID3, click search, you will quickly find AL6
You will now discover it goes to two resistor networks, one passes it down the line to voltage regulator and Winbond monitoring/control chip, the other Pulls it UP to VTT.

X5650 is 1366 and wont fit in this board, X5470 is perfect, but also 🤣 $50 while ancient. You can build 4770 system for similar money.
Sorry, I always confuse the 5650 with the 5450.
I am trying to use it with a x5450 (modded).
I am not a tech expert so the only thing I can do is cutting pins on cpu or socket to make it work.
If not I would try to put a wire on the missing AL6 spot.
There are techniques to replace individual pins, without replacing the whole socket. It's not something you can do yourself without skills and equipment. Look for a lab, that deals with motherboards repairs in your area.

So you dont even consider following the Do nothing advice?

Do nothing is basically equal to throw it.
It does not work anyway so, why doing nothing?
This is the first time in this thread where you even hint at trying to run it 😀 What are the symptoms? does it power the PSU at all? does teh PSU stay powered on with fans running? do keyboard LEDs blink?
What cpu did it not power up with? flip the cpu over and using https://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/designguide/302356.pdf find its VID pins and check them with a multimeter against ground pin to determine what VID CPU requests when powered on.
this one VID pin missing has very low chance of making the board not power up, so im guessing its broken in other ways too.
, the power button works as intended, fans spin.
Power button works to shut down also.
that means there is no panic, no emergency, board thinks everything is fine
ps2 keyboard led behavior is important - it tells us if bios starts executing since one of the first things BIOSes usually do after initializing CPU is initializing keyboard controller and that makes the keyboard blink
