I've got several of those, and when I break one of the little
pins I simply put the remaining pins in a 40 pin IC socket and jumper
a tiny wire to the broken pin corresponding pin on the new
socket.
I also use these 40 pin IC sockets as "Sacrifice"
sockets on all my Fluke 40 pin test plugs. These are not the machined
pin sockets, rather the double wipe ones seem to have solder leads
that are closest in size and thickness to regular IC's and thus do no
damage the UUT's socket.

Just broke
the Fluke branded socket used on a Fluke pod. One of the nice ones
that let you probe the pins at the same time. Looks like the part
number is something like 9000A-3009 (Rev AÉ but I'm sure that
doesn't matter!)
I'd really
like to find a replacement as when I use normal 40 pin sockets, I
invariably bend pins or get a bad connection in the
socket.
