I use machined pin sockets for those - the pins extend out the bottom of
the socket and allow easy soldering of the top-side traces. Sockets
manufactured by Augat and Asman (SP?) work well.

TO-5 transistors are usually stood off the board by about 1/4" anyways - no
problem there either.
The problem components are radial-lead electrolytic capacitors and terminal
blocks. Most everything else is not too much problem.
