Well I've burned out plenty of single pin i/o on PIC microcontrollers over the years. The rest of the chip would work just fine. I mark them as bad and use the chips for projects that don't require the dead i/o pin.
Do you have a schematic of the circuit? To hard to see how the PIC is hooked up from your two posted images.
If you can still program and do a flash memory verify, that means the chip is partially working.
