i've got a 144 pin PQFP 0.5mm pitch there are only a small number of connected pins, maybe a dozen or so excluding power
i am thinking about deleting a lot of unused pads to possibly open up top side routes and reduce inspection and bridging concerns am i crazy? do you think the leads will short thru the solder mask to traces below? is this good practice even if i don't run traces there, i.e. will it solder and align properly with missing pads?
