I am sure y'all all know it already , but I find that dental tools are among the best tools for removing solder.  The nice thing about them is that they are stainless steel and the solder will not stick to it.  You can plunge them into a hole to clear the solder out and when it cools the dental tool will pull right out.  I guess you can ask at the dentist's office if they have any old ones you can have, but I have seen them for sale.  I believe it was C&H sales in Pasadena that sold  new ones quite inexpensively, but I guess they are gone now.

Will have to check ebay.
