Our production people do that sort of things with very thin tapes. This has the advantage of avoiding separate paste masks for every assembly variant for small production lot quantities.
However, if your production lots are quite big you could set the paste mask enlargment for the parts in question to negative values. This is done in the advanced tab of the properties dialog box when double clicking the component in the PCB editor.
