I hate soldering guns. The tips actually wear over time and depending on the age of that gun, might be due to be replaced.

Do yourself a favor, get a decent Weller bench top iron that you can change the tip
Size so that you can optimize what you’re working on. Many have simple temp controls as well.

Or you can get really fancy with a bench top Metcal. I’ve hauled soldering stations all around the world, worked on equipment in some of the hardest site equipment configurations and body contortions. NEVER have I considered this type of iron.

Sometimes it’s just better to punt.
