Fixed it! The SOIC MOSFET didn't even have a thermal pad, so now it's got way more heat-sinking than it ever did. Though the RDS_on is 32 times greater now, it's still not going to produce more than a couple of watts of heat, which is fine for a TO-220 clamped to an aluminium chassis. Feels good to be able to fix something without having to buy any extra parts.

Additionally, the tip that got up to glowing temperatures is still working, the plating seems fine even.
