Free-Air wire them to dip sockets if its for protos.

I just put a photo up in

Files/Surface_Mount/Free-Air.jpg

showing it being done to adapt a SO8 to a DIP8 package.

I realise 0.95mm spacing is a tad smaller - but should be quite
achieveable with some kynar wirewrap wire.

It's not mechanically strong enough to go out into the real
world. But should survive prototype stage no problems.
