No problem - hope you get it sorted. If you're thinking of doing any more surface mount stuff at all I could highly recommend a hot air rework station. The chinese ones are super cheap (under $50) and seem to work fine (it's what I use). They make stuff like this really easy.
The problem really is just that of cost - almost every day someone tells me they're not buying Espruino boards because they're too expensive (maybe using ESP8266 instead). I guess one option could be to do a fully loaded Pico as a second product. Maybe Micro USB, watch crystal, and one of the huge new STM32F413 chips.
