I agree with the idea to reseat the cpu with a decent compound, first, and see how that goes.

The hardest bit about messing with cpu coolers is the clip, I have found cases which allow dropping down the motherboard still attached to the base-plate are easiest, as you get room to work. Vitally important, when re-fitting the cooler, is that the clip is engaged in one go, any sideways movement is especially bad, as the compound will be smeared about.
