If you get everything lined up a toaster oven modified for reflow will
work, but I've had good luck using conductive glue:

I suppose your intended use would limit its applicability, I've a had
machine controller running with a glued AT91SAM9260  for just over
three weeks with no problems so far.

i agree, though that the best strategy is to avoid BGA packages like
the plague!
