If you're trying to de-solder a BGA component, I can't help, but any other surface mount stuff check out Chip Quik Alloy. It's a super-low melting point solder that you can use to take off pretty much any non-BGA component with a standard iron and a pair of tweezers. Cleans off with braid.

Why not use a plate/skillet for BGA desoldering?

Thanks for the hint!
