You don't need to buy a new heatsink!

If you size the fan properly it will fit. But then again, heatsink/fan combos are rather cheap.

On some chips, the core is not just a small square in the center. The core on my pentium 4 is the almost the entire width. Thermal paste is very annoying to get out of a clothing, and don't go crazy putting it on your processor. One tiny little dot should be enough.
