Pin broke- ok to overclock?

Yesterday I was installing a P4 2.4B and noticed it wasn't sliding into place properly. When I looked at the pins 2 of them were bent. I tried to straighten them out with a knife but one of the pins snapped off. I managed to get the other one straightened out and put it in. I didn't think it would boot but it did. I installed XP and ran some benchmark tests and it seemed stable. But will not having a pin affect my computer? I'm planning on OC'ing it but I don't want to risk it if it will damage the CPU more.
 
most of those pins are grounds and voltage pins, very few are actual data pins. As long as it was a ground pin you will be fine.
