Interestingly, if the desolder wick is any good for its intended purpose it wouldnt be suitable for this use . When hot the solder is meant to wick its way up the braid, and you would be left with a stiff section of braid.

My advice is to pre tin each resister leg and then be very sparing with the solder. A bit of pre practice will help.
