Where the main thermal mass is, point of soldering iron at the junction of pin and trace. If, like me, you rarely do SMD soldering and cannot justify obtaining solder paste or sub-millimetre solder. If you have some way of rolling , roll down 1mm solder to thin strip and slice down with a razor for short lengths of sub-mm.
For SMD de-soldering , on the cheap, on my tips files below
