================
You could put lower weights on the problematic rows
x=(W*A)\(W*b)
where W is a diagonal weighting matrix. Or you could throw away those rows altogether and try PINV. Throwing away the bad rows and adding regularization would be even better, but it's not clear to me, from the physics of your problem, what regularization would be appropriate.
