Distant Blow and Picks

I could see allowing someone to trade an Extra Attack (whether from the advantage, Rapid Strike, or All-Out Attack) for a Ready maneuver to extract it. I could also see a light attack (ie, Defensive) providing either an immediate retrieval at a penalty, or a bonus to a following attempt. There could be an Extra Effort option that either gives a free Ready, or a bonus to the ST roll. Of course, in a cinematic game I'd allow these sorts of things for ST‡ weapons too.
