Do you THINK you're fucked?
It is arguably harder to post here than to do a Google query.
This place is shit.

You're fucked.

FUCK

This is what I would probably do: get a tooth pic and dip it in your rubbing alcohol (since you're using thermal paste I'll assume you have some on hand), if you don't have a toothpick use a pin. Get as much as you can off with that and fucking pray to Gaben it was good enough.

I don't see what difference it would make unless the thermal paste is conductive.
