It would be helpful to know how far you are off. That is, can you just resize the partition or do you need to remove some content first? If you really need to do a block-by-block copy, the debian resize2fs tool can be used to shrink the partition ahead of updating the partition table.[2] You'd need a bootable microSD card (non-flasher!!) to perform the resize operation.
Typically, if you are working from an image that has /opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh[1], then you'd simply want to run that script on BBB1 to write the image to a microSD card and then boot that microSD card on BBB2 to write to the eMMC. This copies the appropriate files, but partitions and formats the destination eMMC rather than doing a block-by-block copy that could be why your image doesn't fit.
