There is, predictably, a reason you don’t do this. Unless you get really good at micro-metering the paste, you tend to make a mess that takes you almost as long to clean up as doing it manually.
It does look like the RP2040 self-centered just fine, though.

But I have made another mistake that helps here. I went to order more solder braid and didn’t think about the size, I just got the smallest one I could find. Last time that was 2.5mm. This time it was 1.5mm. Which is almost unusably small unless you’re cleaning up things like this. Some wick, tacky flux, and drag soldering, and it looks much better.
