This kinda sounds stupid, but everyone I've looked up say "grab CPU by the sides and take out". Thing is, the CPU is in the socket, the sides are surrounded by the socket "walls", I can't exactly grab the sides.
I mean, kinda same thing for putting CPU in, but for putting it in, I can just let go a bit above, and have it fall down into the socket.
Maybe this motherboard is like that, and other motherboard are different, but I don't know.
The only thing I can grab is the heatsink (which you apply thermal paste to) on the top, but I can't get a good grip on it.
I can keep grabbing and pull the CPU to the side on top, but I might bend a few pins doing that.
This is AM5 socket btw.
Edit: I built this PC from parts, I put the CPU in, so I know I have to remove the cooler and pull the lever up.
Also some people guessed that this might be in the audio area, so only audio might be affected.
So far, I don't see any issue (audio plays too, though I can't like tell if some frequency is missing or something, I mean, it sounds fine).
What are the chances if I keep using the PC like, this could damage the other (way more expensive) parts or cause a fire?
So, I had some issues with installing the GPU in the case, and the GPU bottom (those metals things at the bottom) ended up scratching part of the motherboard. From what I can tell, there's a bunch of similar components all the way up, so I'd think there's redundancy, so I guess it's not that important. Here is a picture (I was told some people couldn't open postimg, both links have same image):

PC boots fine into bios, fans work, stuff are recognized, mouse and keyboard also works, but I haven't really done much beyond that.
Motherboard is: MSI B650 Gaming Plus Wifi
It's located here, and on them, it is written K72 then vertically smaller K2 (the 2 has an underline), as you can see in the above image too:

I was told to ask here, and the best guess from what I've been told is that this is this:
> Paralleling power metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is a common wayto reduce conduction losses and spread power dissipation over multiple devices to limit the maximum junction temperature.
Which could mean that the others could pick up the slack.
Should I get a new motherboard?
So I guess, what this means is having one scrapped off or failing isn't a big issue (because of built-in redundancy accounting exactly for that)?
It's like well, here I guess:

You might be able to find a better resolution image of the board if you look, on them, it is written K72 then vertically smaller K2 (the 2 has an underline).
There are so many as you say, so makes me think, there's enough redundancy to leave it be.
