um, no - soldering the cpu is not a generally accepted way to go.

will this damage any part of the cpu?

It would more than likely seriously damage just about any part of the cpu.

The theory behind [heat] soldering is to get the metals hot enough with the iron and then touch the solder to the hot metal to melt the solder and bond the wires and/or contacts together.

Definately not a good idea to heat solder any part of the cpu.
