Good light and small scissors, wielded with a patient hand.

Tiny scissors. I've used this repair kit before with decent results. http://www.alltvstuff.com/leat3.html
I stole this sig from someone smarter than I am.
Yep, patience mostly. The solder will have fused itself to some of the carpet fibers, and you're going to have to break that connection somehow.
Should come out clean (no discoloration) but leave a depression. Sometimes you can "fluff up" the carpet a bit to hide the depression pretty well.

;)
