I did ballast the points on my layout. I used teaspoon to apply the ballast to the points of my N gauge layout, then using a very soft brush (wife is still looking for her small blusher brush) I brushed away the over full making sure all the ballast was removed from the moving parts. Then like M.Levin I used a 50/50 mix of water and PVA with a few drops of washing up liquid. As long as the ballast is no higher than the sleepers, then the points move without any problems. The trains ran over the ballasted points and the whole line without any problems. Mind it did take for ever to do it.
