My experience with TQFP clips....they work once or twice, but then it always
seems that they don't make very good contact with at least one or two pins.
For debugging these parts, I just solder wires to a header and tape it to
the board on top of a chip or what have you.

how about....pads, with individual staking pins, or just wires and clip
after?

I'm using the TQFP package for the PIC (tiny), and I haven't seen any
clips for that size. Perhaps they exist and I just haven't seen them?
Digikey doesn't have them, anyway.
