In a similar situation I took a round-pin socket, put the ZIF on top of
it (indeed, you can not insert the flat pins of the ZIF) and soldered
the ZIF pins into the cups of the socket. Put a dual-wipe in the PCB and
you will be able to take out your expensive ZIF if you want to use it
for another purpose.
