Reballing with lead-based solder.
It won't be easy.

I have had great results using 2nd gen cpu and gpu heatsinks and heatgunning the cpu, gpu/hana areas from underneath the board (300 deg celcius for 5mins on each, keep the heatgun moving in circles), then doing the x-clamp fix.
I recently resurrected a console I swapped with somebody for a drive flash (customer no longer wanted the old one, he kept his dvd drive from it)
