Scrape off a litte of the green mask over the copper track and solder a wire from that to the pin on the socket.

  Or find some other 'connective, convenient, and sturdy' place, such as the nib of resistor lead next to the body where it dives into the board hole.
Pre-tin both solder surfaces, don't bake all the flux off.
Teeny hook-bend-end pre-shaping of the de-insulated wire may help placement and contact area in hot solder to lead-end. Soldered cleanly and just the right heat-exposure time with hot iron and not disturb anything beneath the board.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.
