Oh I have spares, probably spares for the spares too. I seldom had smoke but do remember hooking electrolytic caps backwards a few times. The bang will get your attention.
They do not smoke but I found if you plug an ATtiny85 backwards they will burn your hand when you attempt to remove them.
Problem with doing that is sooner or later you are going to end up with piles of stuff like esp12f's and such. I have more packaging tubes of ATtiny85's than I will ever use.

I have a roll of very low temperature solder that has high bismuth content. It is not to solder with instead you use it lower the melting point of solder then wick it up . Was used at EMR Telemetry and when they were sold I was given a roll. Like a big roll of chip quik.
It is valuable to desolder things like ESP32s. The odds of lifting pads are slim with it too.
