It's not as hard as it looks. What I do is stick the chip in place with tape, then tack down pins on opposite corners, then remove the tape and just go at it like crazy, letting the pins bridge as they will. Once it's all done and there's solder everywhere, I go back over it with solder braid to suck up the excess. A magnifying glass is nice but you can totally just do it by hand. Just embrace the mess!
