Mike,

You create a small PCB to translate the new pin-out to the old pin-out.
The bottom of this small PCB is soldered to your board with the bad
pin-out.  This small PCB is slightly smaller (10 mils? side-side) than
the footprint you are translating to.  You end up soldering on the edge
of this new smaller PCB.  Get the idea?  I had the same problem once and
this method worked perfectly.
