The way I remove most parts, is to use a solder sucker to get most of the solder out of the joint, then I wiggle the pin till its loose and then remove it. If that does not work, I heat it and pry/pull from the top side.
I removed all my toroids to unwind a turn (worked better before I removed a turn) without the slightest damage to anything. I have taken some big IC chips out this way, but its really slow... I think almost everyone has to remove a part at some point or another....and I don't see a problem with regular solder, the last thing I would want is a higher melting temp.
