The easiest way to do this is to put the chip on it's side and gently bend
all the pins on one side slightly at the same time.  Then turn the chip
over and do the other side.  Just bend a little, not too much.  I remember
the days of PC's that used RAM chips.  Once I installed 90 DIP's to bring
the PC's memory up to a whopping 640K!
