Thats the whole problem. The IHS needs a lot of pressure to properly make the TIM joint from the IHS to the die. The only problem I see with what you suggest is that those pins would need to be in the same area that needs the cooling. Kinda defeats the purpose.
To bad those IHS wasn't bonded to the die....
