After thinking about it a bit more, what about a blind via? They can even be filled with copper by the board house. I'm assuming this is a 6-ish layer board, yea?
Since you didn't mention that it was blind or otherwise, i'm assuming you have regular-old normal vias, probably non-tented? A blind via will by the very physics and geometry wick away less solder, because it takes up less volume. And if it's filled with copper or whatever the board house can fill them with, it will take up no solder at all.

Would this work?
