I see you are familiar with the method :)
Here's another "ghetto BGA reball" trick if that happens: lower the temperature of your iron to make the "pseudo balls" that are too big thinner by drawing some paste away into a vertical line extending up : let it cool down and just trim it to length with nail clippers.
You can get balls again by rewarming a bit - ideally with a special IR heater to avoid pushing the balls away by the flow of air coming from a hot hairgun, but in a pinch a regular oven can do the job (prebake to temp of course)
