And as a last resort, cut the leads and then clean out the bad parts and leads.
Even the best rework gal will not try to save a multi-leaded part. Too much
risk of damage to the PCB.

Ha, ha!!! But the beer was NOT wasted. It was the one sure-fire benefit of
the exercise.
Removing parts with a solder sucker, especially those with multiple "leads"
(some as many as ten) without destroying either the board or part I find
it's common for a very thin layer of solder to remain after "sucking" the
hole clean. The remaining film of solder is easily broken by wiggling the
part.
