So while removing the motherboard from the iPad mini 1st generation, I damaged the dock connection on the motherboard. Slightly tore it to be exact.
I've tried using a regular soldering iron to remove the dock but that's not working at all.
What's the best way to perform this repair?
Is this a good question?

Get an expert to do it. Logic board soldering requires special tools, solder and lots and lots of practice. You can (if you haven't already) destroy multi-layer circuit boards easily with too much heat.
Not every project is a good DIY project, some require more training and materials than the average person possesses. At this point removal of the logic board and taking it to a computer/small electronics shop, as you found out (is a very advanced DIY project) but this will save some $ and allow you to participate in the repair.
If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.
