I was trying to remove the backplate and my hand slipped and I accidentally scratched it with the screwdriver. I think there used to be a transistor here. Is this fixable? I have basic soldering skills.

Edit: This is the back of the CPU socket so I'm kind of freaking out.

exposed copper will oxide. Oxidation on a mechanical piece, i wouldn't care. On a board, you better cover it.
