If you’ve seen a question 100 times answer it the 101st time or ignore it. Even better, write a complete, detailed answer and suggest that the mod(s) pin it to the community.

This makes me feel a lot better, thank you!
My usual temperature was 370°c but since I've burned the via I've dropped it down to 340°c and only go up when I really need to. I'll probably go back to 370°c
As for the stubborn points, I'm going to preheat and try different/larger tips before I go above 400°c.
Thanks again!
