I suspect that is more for heat sinking.
In which case, you don’t really want a socket either.
And change your PCB under those pins to have more copper.
You can also get/make little heatsinks which may help. Get the black anodized ones though. They can come with their own adhesive, or you can use heat conductive epoxy.
I heard there is a middle ground recently—a kind of hear sink compound that is tacky enough to work as a permanent connection, but still removable. That would be ideal.
