I've seen this too, but I've also seen the pins crack in the horseshoe bend where the metal tab connects the tube pin socket to the socket wiring terminal. In a pinch, for testing purposes, you could use a troubleshooting Extend-O-Socket and use a clip lead to connect the offending pin directly to the circuit.
