I have had a hell of a time trying to solder the small pins at the end of the pico, I am sure there is a secret to it, I just have not worked it out yet.
Solder them down to a board (ie, use them like castellated pads) and they go down easy. Might need a bit of flux, though I don't think I've used it when I put Espruino Picos onto my protoboards. ( https://www.tindie.com/products/DrAzzy/espruino-pico-protoboard-discount/ )
If you're putting pins/wires into them, it's not much harder than a normal soldering job, as long as you've got an iron with a reasonably fine point. You may have to shave the plastic around the pins down.

Sorry I have been away, I am back on the project now with only a couple of weeks to get this done.
