In addition to the steady hand, I would also suggest
- good quality flux
- fine soldering iron
And if you do manage to solder the new lead to the stub, I also suggest
to use two-component epoxy glue to mechanically reinforce the structure.
Otherwise you'll find yourself re-soldering that lead agin and again,
while you have already overheated the silicon die.
As for "sacrificial chip", if you don't have a broken one, take a nc (non-connected) lead from some logic IC or such thing.
