considering the pin density of that socket if you have a vacuum iron you could get it off. but it's a specialty tool and not really affordable for one hobby job... so :(
they're a soldering iron but hollow and a vacuum pump attached to them. you melt the solder around the pin and hit the suck button. it pulls the solder cleanly out of the hole. do all the pins and out it comes.

Same one as in EEV blog but different color scheme
I have one of these cheap desoldering stations. You'd probably want a Hakko for serious work, but it works well enough for hobby use.

Thanks, I'll try that one out. I ended up getting this one which doesn't seem to work super well. I'm trying to avoid getting one of these just to fix my fuck-ups... :)
