On that note, is it worth it to get a desoldering iron ? Like, what is essential...

Yes. If you can afford it (around 100 $€ will get you a basic one) and you expect to use it more than once, it'll save you a lot of grief.

Desoldering is one of those things where the right tool is almost mandatory.

Sure, you can desolder with a cigarette lighter and some luck, but you’ll be much happier with the iron.
