is there a trick to desoldering these? i just spent 30 minutes trying to remove one in a 3x2 format. board was absurdly conformally coated so it made it even more miserable.

solder sucker freed 4 of the pins. tried adding more solder to increase heat transfer for the remaining 2 stubborn pins. didn't work. tried using solder wick. didn't work. broke out the hot air and blasted it with so much heat i thought i was going to delaminate the fucking board. gently pried on the header with needle nose pliers while blasting it with hot air and it finally fucking released... except for 1 pin which was still soldered to the board and required a soldering iron to free it.
