There are two things you can try.  You could carefully cut back the 
epoxy with a dremel until you've got enough leg to solder a new pin to, 
or you could see if that pin is even important.  There's probably 
*someone* out there with a knackered Poly-800 or similar Korg synth that 
can give you a chip, or you could even just bypass it and not have any 
filter at all for a lovely chiptune-like effect.

If you were really keen you could just build a filter on protoboard and 
add that in.
