So can I just get a board that will allow me to socket a SOIC package PIC12F508 into a DIP-8 socket and wire that socket up directly to the pin outs?

Yes, or just tack solder wires to the corresponding pads on your mod chip board and connect those to the programmer, what's what I do for this sort of thing.

If you were going to make a whole load of them, you'd build a test fixture with pogo pins where you just hold the board down or flip a cover down to hold it in place and flash the firmware, pop it out and put the next one in.

First solution I can do no problem but this pogo pin solution has grabbed my curiosity. The hell is a pogo pin and in what way could I utilise them?

Boards arrived. I'm impressed with JLCPCB's quality with such a small 11x11mm PCB. I might need to make a second revision of this design though. 11x11mm is a little too small for me to comfortably work with and I underestimated how thin 0.6mm is for thickness. Maybe go back to a 14x14mm or 15x15mm board with 0.8mm or 1.0mm thickness, keep the pads the size they are too and sort the outline for the IC so I know how to orientate them.

In the meantime though I can certainly use these to get things working.
