Jeff-
working on older parts the oxide on the leads impedes "solder-ability", so just a gentle cleaning. scotch-brite(red/green/grey), I use whatever is nearby (green/grey at the bench).
Re the tips they do go bad with time/use I would run with the screwdriver, the long conical generally does not have the mass to do fast transfer of heat. it is not so much the temp ( to a point) as is the quick heat/in&out, try the 800 it may work but beware of burning the rosin. too much heat is just as bad as not enough. Those high temps were not allowed ( and for good reason) to be found in the rework area or at our engineering benches the govt oversight would have a fit, I caused enough grief with procedures that got things done and fixed properly before my ECN could be approved. I hid most of my unapproved tools 99% of the time.
I like the Weller gun for tip interchangeability and one could shape the tip as needed. they are not ESD safe! as you know every tool has its applications and limitations. ( they are inexpensive now days ~$5 used at garage sales etc...best one has nuts to hold the tips but beware of stripped threads...they kept making modifications to the attachment point until it worked poorly )
