Default fuxored my board bad.....

ok so i was soldering on some resistors to bump up my VIO voltage a little and i kinda soldered off this itty bitty resistor. the thing is the size of a tip from a ball point pen. now i have the resistor still and i cleaned it up as much as i could, and the solder spots on the motherboard are ok. i was thinking about trying to replace it, but i got like 4 M ohms off the little sucker. i doubt if thats right, but...i want to try to fix this.
some Q's i have about soldering it back on:
how to hold it in place? (some kind of mini vise or something)
how to solder it and not unsolder another one?
flux possibly?
will my board have a chance of living at all?
and if i cant do it, can i possibly send it to a soldering master here on the forums? (ill pay shipping both ways)


any help would be appreciated very very much.
