The number of times you need to be careful with the pins numbers usually less than 10. Oftentimes most CPUs will be inserted into a motherboard once. Ever. 

While it shouldn’t be overly fragile the priority of “make a rugged CPU pin” pales in comparison to all the other design constraints a CPU has to perform for. The closer and smaller the better for maximizing performance.
