I also just had to use DFU and opted to go full solder and then clean up afterwards. I just couldn't get the pencil method to work and even when trying to short the pads with wire I struggled to hold the button down as well.
For me I needed DFU mode because the Espruino was just failing to boot at all. The blue light was on faintly but it wasn't showing up in the IDE or anything. It had been fine last night but when I plugged it in this morning, nothing. Everything is fine after the reflash though, so glad that there was a recovery option!
