Try the flood and suck technique:
Put a length of solder across the entire PCM chip, then (not too quickly) run a hot iron over it so it looks like a huge amount of solder covers all the pins and solder pands. Put a length of desoldering braid over the pins and heat it up just like you did with the solder, run the iron slowly from one side to the other.
I noticed that this works quite well, and that desoldering braid works much better if there is a lot of solder there.
