for the tiny chink "solder station" with two alligator clips, I filled the base with pennies and put some rubber feet on the bottom
cutting mats used for general crafting are commonly seen in videos/etc
also search for anti-static mat

hmm, that should be enough for any solder in common usage. how strong is the iron? how big is the part? is everything thermally well-coupled? did you sort yourself out? did you clean your tip?
what flux? is it no-clean? (you probably want something a bit more active than no-clean for rework)
do you have hot air? you might try pre-heating the area with it, and/or just using the air to melt solder and pull the component
