I'm fairy OCD with keeping the tip clean. I use a gold pot which has like a flux coated (brass?) mesh. I'll bear that in mind though and douse the bugger in flux too.

You won't break anything if you take your time.

To summarise for anyone who may come across this in the future, I believe the following fixed my issue:
Thanks again.

To summarise for anyone who may come across this in the future, I believe the following fixed my issue:
- Running CPU_RESET topside
- Re-soldering PLL_BYPASS to make a better connection.
Thanks again.
