Naw, the entire drive shell is a pretty massive 'sink... all
you have to do is get the bit above the melting point of the
solder and that can even be done before it's inserted into
the screwhead.

You still have to heat the screw at least to the melting point of the
silver solder for it to stick.

Yes, but if the case is metal that shouldn't matter.

Am I missing something?

While the case might be metal, there's a good chance that some of
the internal components aren't... Heat those up and your drive is
dead in the water!
