Screw safety, I'd be concerned with the sheer amount of manual labor required. The only time I'd sign up for that amount of work is if I wanted to save the component or save the board, for their primary original intended function.

It's not as simple as heating up the board and then the components fall off. It's usually quite fiddly, depending on the design.
