How do I wire directly to a DIP socket already in place?

I have a PCB I built from a poorly-designed regulator circuit in a textbook. I need to cut a trace and wire in the negative rail power to an op amp socket. Is there an elegant way to do this or should I just hardwire it to a new DIP socket and double-stack them?



Also, phear my leet MS Paint skills.

Can you melt the solder side and weasle it in there?

How I would do it....
Cut the trace, leaving enough to sorta "surface mount" the wire to the trace connecting to the pin.
Be sure to cut a gap in the trace so to not make a solder bridge.
