https://www.evilmadscientist.com/2016/fliptronics-flip-pins/ Those would be perfect if they just didn't have that big pointless blade/shoulder thing preventing it from being low profile. But even with it, they are almost ideal. I guess you could design a pcb with the components on the bottom,

Re: [M100] low profile pcb pins

Those are basically a fancy shaped Arduino header pins. I just bought 200 8-pin, long stackable Arduino headers for $21.95 delivered which comes out to $0.014/pin. The pins I get are just a shade larger than IC pins in both directions and work in both normal leaf sockets and turned pin sockets.
