I've used a lawn weed killer twice which has worked on everything else but not done anything to this.

I'd just carefully hoe them to break the roots joysie21 & if you don't want to bend to pull them all out leave them on the surface where they should shrivel up if we get the hot sun back again. If they're the stronger creeping buttercup type I'd try & pull them out though as they root along the stems & if you leave any they'll probably just take root again.

google is out of order then,
If you wait until after rain while the ground s still moist they come out easily using a small hand tool or trowel. I use a special long bladed tool for tap rooted weeds like dandelion but it works very well for other weeds.
It does mean getting down on hands and knees but if I can do it I'm sure you can.

I'll get around to it eventually

As has been said, Google is wrong, in the EU it is illegal to use anything other than a registered pesticide on all plants.
