Soldering wires to the pins is a real pain in the butt, but it can be done.

Trying to
solder the pins individually, and avoiding bridging them
(like if you didn't use enough flux) is a complete pain in the ass,
and just a bad idea.
This sounds as though you're talking strictly about soldering them to a
printed-circuit board. If so, that's a lose right there, compared to
DIPs, if you can't connect to them (without equipment prohibitively
expensive for hobbyist use) except via a PCB.
