I don't think the moves you listed are necessarily harder than the y2k. It's just that the y2k rollover is a foundational move that most people learn first and know well before they move on to behind the 8-balls, etc, so therefore those moves are thought of as a step up, but they aren't really harder as far as how much you have to practice.
Maybe you just need to practice more.When I learned the Y2k I used Cutlerylover's tuto and I spent 2 entire nights from dusk to dawn just kneeling on my bed trying to do the Y2K. I suggest you do the same, just take a big block of time, like 8 hours or so, and just do y2ks over and over again.
There are also 2 ways to do this move, the modern style that cutlerylover teaches in his vid and the way Micheal Janich teaches in his DVD in which the thumb holds the balisong against the entire hand instead of just against the pointer finger.
