What is the best way to insert v-20 in a 5150 without bend ring the legs?
Very carefully
If the legs are bent i generally use a IC socket - Long nose pliers and or hollow needle, Get the legs aligned so they fit the socket perfectly, Place the IC in the socket in your 5150 and before pushing down make sure all legs are where they should be in the socket, Use a magnifying glass if needed. There are IC leg straightener tools around but i never bothered buying one.

I put the IC on it's side on a flat surface, and push down while rolling inwards a little. Then repeat for other side.
Test fit, if still to wide, roll more.

Only takes a few seconds and always works flawlessly for me.
