VERY fiddly hack. SMD resistors are a real pain to work with.
Get yourrself a few spare resistors of the same value. You are better off sacrificing the component, and concentrate on keeping the solder pads intact. Practice on a scrap electronics board before doing the mod.
The first stage is the hardest. The track cut is the next hardest.
The good news is, your board has all the same marked connectors (DS0, DS1, S6) and the other pins (IC pin 1, floppy connector pins 2 and 34). So it should work.
Surgical scalpel recommended for the track cuts - and doing SMD board work with a standard soldering iron is a real test of skill.
A magnifying glass is better than nothing, but pros use optical zoom gear and similar nicer tools.
