Modern memory - including the heat spreader - is and can be heated with hair dryer. And at those temperatures, it is called paradise to the semiconductor. Heat the sucker. If in doubt, get look at the first page of that memory's data sheet (enter one of the semiconductor's part number into Google) to literally read memory temperatures that are called good, desireable, and acceptable. A hairdryer on high does not get anywhere near to unacceptable memory temperatures. The heat spreader only means it takes longer to get the memory to a proper test temperature.
