like where it is located, it's going to be a pain using a soldering
iron and I'm afraid I'll un-solder half the board if I use a heat gun
(never tried that on electronics, and I don't think now is a good time
to try.)

You've found an alternative solution, but just for completeness: I know
what you mean about blowing away other components; some of those
resistors and capacitors look like large grains of salt! What we tended
to do when removing a chip with a heat gun where there are lots of
adjacent components was cover them (the nearby components, not the one
we're removing) with "Kapton" tape (I don't know if that's a trade name
- probably). It's heat-resistant adhesive tape - dark yellow in colour,
looks a bit coppery when still on the roll.
