Unless the geometry can be fixed, it seem like hyper-focused rolling x-strokes will always be necessary. And possibly breadknifing and re-setting the bevel in that area as needed to maintain the smile?
All you will need to do, for a very long time, will be to just hone it as needed. Finisher only. If you run the 3 stage lapped and pasted balsa progression and take it to the .1u level, then you could just hit the .1u balsa after every shave and never need to take it to stone or film again.
