The metal blades will dull quickly on fiberglass
boards. The cutting
disk will work but tend to gum up.
You can do a lot of damage with a Dremel, the big problem being that
it's hand-held. This is one case where I might be tempted to use a
jeweler's frame saw and use as many blades (they're very cheap) as
needed to get the job done. Alternatively, a small carbide bit in a
table-mounted router would do the job in a jiffy.
Personally, I'd just find out if the IC was available in PLCC.
