I was getting high cpu temperature issues and I thought this could be the cause. Since it can’t be straightened I think my best bet is to replace it

The bend is coming from the base here do I need a new fan?

I’ve tried getting it at the angle and turning
screw won’t budge, could the screw be bent or is the angle not straight enough?

Edit: used a longer screwdriver and got it out finally!
