I haven't started building my board yet, but the pitch on the regulator appears to be about the same as tsop40 and some qfp packages I'm used to soldering/desoldering. I'd recommend positioning the regulator on the board and holding it in place with tweezers. Flood the area with no clean flux, then with a fine chisel tip try to tack down one corner of the regulator, then move to the opposite corner, adjust the positioning if necessary then tack that corner down. Reflux the chip and load your tip
