Soldering/De-soldering USB flash-drive Plugs (lemmy.world)

So, i'm thinking of a story and i need some tech info.

How risky is to de-solder an usb plug if the flash-drive contains important files? It would be relatively safe for someone capable, or the heat is way too risky for the chip/content?

Also there's any (MacGyver like) way to quickly access the file or reconnect the plug without a solder while only having access to office supplies?

Yep the real McGiver would use chewing gum. 80s tv character, nothing beats chewing gum.
