The advice you have received on practicing soldering is important.
However, if the socket has been damaged you are fighting a loosing
battle. Do a search on eBay. I had a similar problem with a Dell
notebook, and was able to find a replacement socket for under $10.00
delivered. It was well worth the investment.

just unsolder one from an old mother board, it's what I had to do
once.
