3 axis table? Do you mean that the platform would be able to shift either way to keep it from wobbling over? That seems hard given that a rocket is tall & skinny.

How about a massive electromagnet underneath?

Tall and skinny is exactly what you would want for dynamic balancing. Unfortunately, an empty booster would have a very low center of gravity compared to the external shape.
