I've seen wirewrap guns twist off pins. Your idea of a slow turning one
with an unwrap pin in a screwdriver at maybe 30 to 60 rpm max is way better.
Recall that the assemblers may have tweaked or weakened the pins, so a
major twist with a high torque or speed power tool will probably take
off pins as well as wire. Also the wire will be attached to other pins
and as you cut off the wire at one end you will be pulling and perhaps
setting up problems at the other end of the wire, unless you have
something other than the unwrap bit.

The OK hand wirewrap tool, on the opposite end is

pretty quick, just a few twists on each post and its unwrapped. Still
tedious. I dont know if there is an unwrap bit for an electric WW
gun, or if they even go in reverse...
I've chucked an unwap bit in an electric screwdriver, but it takes a
*lot* of time to undo one of these and you'll go blind doing it,
peering through a forest of pins on 0.100" centers.
I was thinking about a tool that would simply slide over the 0.025"
square post and cut the wraps off. Maybe I'm dreaming.
