I've heard recruiters say that if someone is in the ballpark when it comes to qualifications they should apply for a job. The point is that a lot of job postings contain something of a wish list of qualifications, and no one expects a candidate to comprise every single attribute. It's unwise to "spam apply" to jobs that are inappropriate, but your strategy of broadening your approach seems sound.
I've talked to recruiter friends who say to go for any job you hit 60%+ of requirements. You're at a disadvantage if other candidates hit more, but they've all said I'd be doing myself a disservice holding out for roles I match 100% of requirements.
