CrossRoads:
I can't do the FTDI chips, and they are 0.65mm. Will pass on stuff that's even smaller.
If your hands are not steady enough I guess that is a good excuse. If it is eyesight, I use a 1.75X desk lamp/magnifier to do the work and 10x loupe to check the work and then a microscope to double-check it. Even less than perfect eyesight can be worked around.
