Been there, done that, repaired the resulting mess with blue wire.  Not 
nice.

A really hot temperature-controlled iron is the way to go.  Either that 
or as you say, snip the chip and pick the pins out one at a time.

I'm dreading removing the 30-pin thick film module that's wedged tightly 
between other thick-film modules in one of my synthesizers.
