i soldered a thin wire on from underneath then superglued it to the bottom of the chip and brought it out the end.

I contemplated that but decided that there possibly wasn't enough pin spare to deal with the standoff created by the thickness of the wire (even 30ga). Obviously I was wrong.

Did that create any hassle?
