I know it's a big sucker to drop on and off, but if i can keep that pot at a lovely -190 (which should be no problem as long as i keep it full, and i can drip it right from the dewar into the pot) and pull it off for booting, it would make taking the torch to my very expensive pot less needed, even though i know it won't damage the alum or copper, just wastes ln2.
honestly I would just strap it down, doesnt take that long to do. It was good when I had rom's koolance pot so I could thaw one while I cooled one.

Best bet is to buy a known good chip like you are doing
