The thick piece of copper wire creates a thermal connection between all solder joints of the pi pico. The concept is similar to what is explained in this Video.
Adding a lot of leaded solder helps here.
A single soldering iron did not work for me. One side already solidified while heating the other. Using two decently powered soldering irons worked well to heat both sides at the same time. With a little patience, I could melt all connections simultaneously after ca. 1 minute.
