I can verify that it is indeed possible. I lay down xc95144xl-tq100s
all the time with my iron and some flux and some wick, and I get nearly
100% rates. My eyes are not what they used to be either, so a
magnifying glass and a light touch makes all the difference.
I am sure others on list are even better than I, but I recommend flux,
place the IC, and then carefully set the board aside to dry. The flux
will dry, turn into "glue" (as the alcohol evaporates), and that helps
with soldering.
