Soldering/De-soldering USB flash-drive Plugs - Lemmy.World

So, i’m thinking of a story and i need some tech info. How risky is to de-solder an usb plug if the flash-drive contains important files? It would be relatively safe for someone capable, or the heat is way too risky for the chip/content? Also there’s any (MacGyver like) way to quickly access the file or reconnect the plug without a solder while only having access to office supplies?
