Took forever. Lots of fucking around with one of those dogshit solder suckers and wick. But there were still a few pins that connect to a large ground plain that I just couldnt get free.

I ended up getting it out with a fucking heat gun. I put the board chip-side down against an iron 45lb plate with the PPU over the center hole. I covered the motherboard with several layers of aluminum foil so that only the PPU pins were exposed. Then I heater it up a bit at a time and started tuggging on the PPU from the bottom underneath the iron plate until eventually I tugged it free

I was so scared that I probably just fried the chip... but it worked. Still going strong to this day
