Sorry but there is no such rule - even if you were in single digits above the cutoff. The only thing you can do in such a situation - which you unfortunately are not - is to see if you can issue it with a different carrier with Star - as the approach to mileage calculation will differ between booking systems - and also on how cities with multiple airports are being handled.
Bear in mind that lad segments between two cities will account fully towards your total.
