I guess I'm contrary, but I find that a 40 watt Weller iron with a 1/4 inch tip does just fine. If your tip is too big you just make a mess trying to get it down into the holes. I filed down the tip on a 100 watt iron so that it fits, but it doesn't work any better than the 40 watt iron and it's harder to handle. And I do them by the book. Strip, twist, and solder. I never found that any of the published helpful hints and tricks did anything but make the job harder.
