One thing I do for small lettering that I have to trim in between lettering
is change the order of the lettering around.
I try to make the jump stitches go from tiny, in between two
letters to long maybe from one letter to another three letters over.
that way I don't let the machine trim the longer stitches but when hand 
trimming
it is way easier to grab and trim a longer jump than those
tiny jumps between those small letters.

also when possible I try to hand digitize small letters, that way I can 
decide
the closest points to make my jump stitches.

and definitely have used the, color-in jump stitches with colors that match
the background color.
Good Luck,
