Bent pins on retail P4

I just bought a 2.4C from newegg and when I opened the package, I found about 5 bent pins. Since there are so many pins on the P4, trying to realign them is really hurting my eyes. Is there an easier way to do this?
 
I have one... but all the pins are so damn gold... so hard to tell the difference between them when they are that close... not to mention I need new glasses.
 
Are these 5 bent pins in random places or in a row? If its the latter, try using the back of a credit card to "line" them up.
 
Also, sometimes newegg will ship you a new one and you just get a refund on that one. You have to have funds available to make an or der for another though. If you ask, they might even ship it seconday or next day without any extra cost. They did that for me on a capture card/tv tuner.
