Depends on which ones you broke, but usually if they're broken off it can't be fixed without a full socket replacement.
As far as bent ones though, those often can be fixed. The first LGA1155 board I bought had a dozen or so bent pins in the socket, but I was able to bend them back and get the board into working order again. It still works to this day.
The second LGA1366 board I bought had 15 to 20 bent pins in the socket, but I bent them back and got it working again. Board is still in working order actually.
Not all can be fixed though, as sometimes the pins break off when being bent back (even when the person bending them back has a skilled hand and knows what they're doing).

Do you really want to risk damaging the CPU next? Learn from your mistakes and move on to another board.

1155 boards on up are crazy expensive. I am looking for a 1366 board and its insane.

1366 server boards are fairly easy to get on Ebay for a pittance. Something that overclocks is a different matter. It all depends on what you want to do with your system and how much your budget is.
