MicroPDP-11/23+ cabinet kit cables

I'm putting together a MicroPDP-11/23 in a BA23 box.  Have the M8189 CPU quad width board and the bulkhead cabinet kit, with two DB25 connectors and switches to set the baud rate.  On bitsavers the 'MicroPDP11 system technical manual' shows how to set jumpers on the M8189 to allow this cabkit

Does this mean that, like me scratching a bit at the package to expose enough nub of broken-off pin to get a blob of solder on to hold a new leg made of wire can theoretically be extended to shaving off the top of the package to expose the IC and then tack soldering the severed wire back onto it?

Hi Sam On one of the projects I worked on, we had a lockup problem ( CMOS issue ). It would blow either the VCC or GND lead. We had a wire bonder in the lab. I'd remove the cap from ceramic chips and bond on a new wire. It would work fine until we sequence the power wrong and it would blow
