If you hold down before you pause, the cursor will move consistently from option to option. You can use this fact to consistently time unpausing your game without having to mash. I aim to press Esc as the cursor would transition into the top option. Its also a good idea to press Esc twice in case you go slightly too early the first time around.
I think if you greed it very well you can technically unpause while the cursor is still at the bottom, but its really tight.
