Maybe. I’ve never seen anyone do rework or replacement of fine pitch connectors with shrouded leads on big multilayer boards like video cards and stuff without low melt.

A factory I worked at would sometimes place replacement components on masked pads and run the assembly through the heater again, but that’s uh, not recommended for a lot of parts now…
