Stopping payment on only the second to make it go away??

I have a seller that has had a couple of people he knows that stopped payment on the second lien and then negotiated and got it released. He then had confirmation from a lawyer that it may be possible to do.
I have never heard this situation going well and everytime I've seen it the home ended in a full short sale. He has a 90/10 loan and the other part is he wants to stay in the house if he can get rid of the second??!!
Has anyone done this?

It is possible for an attorney to do a lien strip. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean the debt will go away. Certainly something they need to speak with an attorney about.
