Wow I would've loved to have something like this. In the last few months I tried reverse engineering a Dell server motherboard (just the power supply interface) and a Lenovo ThinkCentre motherboard (PCI-E riser) and its such a pain to do by hand I mostly gave up after figuring out some basic connectivity.
It's not really clear to me what your goal is here. It seems like this would make for a great open source project. Even if you want to make money from it, I think you can generate a lot of value from the process rather than the tools (which only you can really use anyway).
You mentioned in a comment below automating the process further like a bonding machine. There's been a ton of work in this general space in a mechanical sense for 3D printers. I bet you could fairly easily adapt it for probing.
The original goal was to just turn an idea I thought was possible and figure out exactly how to execute it. The current goal is something like improve and iterate, while seeing what the market interest for something like this actually is.
I think most of the value is in the imaging technology, and could easily be offered as a mail-in service. I can also bulk manufacture the extractor PCBs and sell them at a small markup, while open sourcing the rest.
People like Ken Shirriff (who routinely posts here on HN, and collaborates with @CuriousMarc on YouTube) and Eric Schlaepfer (aka @TubeTime, published Open Circuits: The Inner Beauty of Electronic Components) would probably have some unique insights for this endeavor.
