Totally agreed. Most thermal paste is non-conductive, so it’s not really an issue if it goes too far. However, if you ever use liquid metal, you have to be more careful
The brand I am using is yeesterpaste. It was at microcenter. It has a little practice pad which was helpful. Turns out my gut feeling was not quite enough. But I may have been a little over zealous with the real one lol.
Leaving it is fine as that amount of excess thermal paste won’t have any detrimental effects.

For your case I’d recommend the first as it’s cheaper
Again however with that small amount you’ll be fine leaving it👍
