Yep, that's probably a good idea to get if you want to do this on a TCU to be reused.
I've got 18 (going on 19...) years of experience soldering and can do 0.5mm pin pitch PQFPs by hand, so I'll probably just slap a couple wires on the VDD, VSS, SCL, and SDA pins on the chip. Assuming of course that powering the EEPROM doesn't parasitically power the MCU, which would result in it booting up and interfering with any attempts to read data out of the EEPROM, so it might be wise to lift the VDD pin and wire it alone to the programmer/reader.
Still waiting on that stupid adapter though - everything hinges on it.
