I had one tube socket that a ball of solder had flowed down into the portion of the socket where the tube pin needed to go. It took about 10 tries but I threaded some solder wick into the socket, heated the wick and socket and slowly pulled the wick up to try and suck out the solder. Eventually I got enough out to be able to get the tube pin to fit in.
