Looks like you're right about the bios needing an upgrade to support it (Cezanne chips).
According to the docs, your motherboard supports Q-Flash, but it appears you need to be able to get to the bios. (Q-flash PLUS lets you do with a usb stick, but this mobo doesn't support that)
Your external graphics card may not function here, are you using the onboard graphics?
It appears you're out of luck unless you can bend those pins.

Right now my plan, assuming I can't bend the pins back into place, is to order another Ryzen 5 1500X. Hardly ideal, but I can have it here within a couple days and it's the one processor I can say with absolute certainty my motherboard will recognize.
Plug it in, keep it safe, fix your thingy, and return it
