I have an old Northwood 3.0c with a broken pin that has been working fine for a couple years...
As long as it's still working, I wouldn't worry about it....

hi digital_exhaust,
even though your old northwood still works with the broken pin, do you see any performance or heat issues?
Nope....I don't...
Are not some of the pins duplicated many times for things such as grounding? Perhaps you got lucky and broke a pin that has one or more duplicates.
Correct. A large number of the pins are for power distribution. Loosing one or two of those probably won't affect anything except perhaps OC performance. If you bust any of the pins that are used for data xfer you've just got an expensive keychain ornament.
