1. Silicone RTV. I used it for years on socketed EPROM's in a portable 
instrument.  Occasionally they needed updates when in the shop for repairs 
and I never saw the slightest corrosion from the RTV.  However, I never 
applied the RTV to the pins.  A tiny dab at each end of the chip to the 
socket was sufficient.

2. Nylon penny ties (cable ties, ny-ties, etc.) could be used if they fit 
under the socket or through pcb holes if there are any suitable.

3. PIC12F508 w/ICSP. No socket.
