She can continue probing, choosing the next probing amount such that it divides the current estimation interval in half.
This well-known search technique is called _binary search_.
With binary search, the number of probes is _logarithmic_ in the desired precision.
For example, to obtain Alice's balance in a channel of 1 million satoshis up to a single satoshi, Mallory would only have to perform latexmath:[\log_2(1000000) \approx 20] probings.

If one probing takes 3 seconds, one channel can be precisely probed in only about a minute!
Channel probing can be made even more efficient.
