I think we can put ø2mm × 10mm long magnetic material inside 4 holes with actuation magnets. Then magnetic field on the other side of the mirror will be close to one produced by actuation magnet. Magnetic cylinder center of inertia will be in the vertical plane where mirror's center of inertia is. So this should not change alignment significantly. Eddy current dumping will be applied to the end of the magnetic cylinder opposite to the magnet using aluminium disks, we have them in the clean room.

I've tested this approach. As we do not have required cylinders with high magnetic permittivity, I replaced them with magnets simular to actuator magnets ø2mm × 3mm long. Using them and aluminium disks from other TT I've made a "pitch dumping" construction.
Pitch Q reduced but not that much as I could expect. I did a ringdown test.
Plots:
yaw ringdown using original construction | yaw ringdown with added pitch damping
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pitch ringdown using original construction | pitch ringdown with added pitch damping
 
 
From this data I've estimated Q factor for yaw (135 vs 88) and pitch (192 vs 77) (original vs added pitch damping). Thess results diverges with the ones obtained by designes. They measured Q~40-50 for original construction. Pitch and yaw have 2 close resonances so this time domain method can not be very precise. I've measured the same with SR785.
 
In these comparison plots excitation was not the same as coils are not plugged in yet, but resonance Q factors can be compared.
