It depends on the nozzle, the temperature, and the technique. If you do
one chip at a time, get the temperature right, and don't take too long, I'd
guess you'd only melt the solder on the adjacent side of the adjacent chip,
and it shouldn't move. I'd use a good quality low-temperature rework
solder to minimise the risk. However, I'm not an expert, and maybe I've
just been lucky.
