That's why you use a long 4x4 on the jack, duh. OR, you can cut the 4x4 to a length that you can wedge under the joist and jack it up as you hammer the 4x4 in a more straight angle. You really don't even need a jack.

I definitely did not think of this before. If I find anymore broken joints (knock on wood that I won’t) I will definitely do this.
