    If the tracks going to the pins are not broken, it should be possible to clean the pads. Apply extra flux before gently using solder wick. The flux will make the solder migrate onto the pads and away from the PCB. In fact, just adding flux and re-melting the solder may be enough to clean it right up. When using solder wick, as MUDZ indicates, add enough solder to get good contact with the solder wick. Do not apply too much heat or mechanical force or scraping - this will lift the pad or break the track.
