I've done it on a Duron and a Tbird. I have 30 years of soldering experience, 10 doing SMD. My advice is don't do it. Even utilizing low temperature solder and being quick about it, you can damage the interconnecting material tha connects the surface traces to layers beneath them, rendering your multipliers intermittent during temperature transitions. I know, I almost lost the Tbird as a result of this. Use some form of conductive paint. Several options are around.
