You should be able to get the heatsink off with a little prying, but the biggest problem there is you DON'T want the CPU to go flying (see: bent pins).

So, right now, you can put the CPU in the motherboard, and lock it into place? Or will the CPU retention mechanism for the ZIF socket not holding it in place at all?
