I didn't. That's what I will be testing next.

The chip is not socketed, but I have successfully desoldered a single pin
from a solder-through chip earlier. It's not that hard. I heat the pin
from the side, and then use the tip of the soldering iron or a small
screwdriver as a "crowbar" to pull the pin from its hole. I haven't tried
this technique for desoldering entire chips, though; there, a desoldering
pump is likely to work better.
