I worked on a similar problem attaching flip chips to flat panel displays in
an R&D project a few years back.  Achieving mechanical/physical contact at
all bumps was the real tough part for me.  But I didn't have the luxury (or
curse) of paste.  So in this case, fixturing (pressure placement if bumped,
accurate paste dispensing and paste volume excess for only paste) is what
I'd spend 90% of my time.  And a way to repair needs good design.
