Lol. Id say its pretty feasable after fixing dry joints on old commadore amiga modulators with a paint stripping gun years ago :)
 
It's a very feasible option if the cause of the problem is a broken solder joint.

In fact, motherboard and video card PCBs are often pre-heated to remove contaminants that may prevent a proper solder joint from forming, as well as to activate the flux that has been sprayed beforehand onto the side of the PCB to which the solder is going to be applied.
 
Time to remove the heatsink from my gpu and let the little fella get toasty i think! prevention is better than cure or so they say:)
 
Couldn't hurt anything if your GPU is dead anyways. Makes logical sense to me with the solder joints losing connectivity. Lol at the Amiga, my dad loved that old PC, it was good for it's time.
