if you remove the metal cap, yes, they will upgrade it to fiber w/o metal. keep in mind that some of them are extremely hard to remove, so weight the effort and risk of injury to determine if its worth it to you.
If you remove the pins, I do not know if they will take them at that point. That is where the bulk of the value is on the non ceramic CPU's. If you take them off, it isnt worth much to Boardsort. I can tell you that those kind of pins are very low yield and hardly worth taking off. They bring in ~0.5-1.0g of gold/lb of pins, so take that for what its worth.
