The question: Can I now white slip the same trip back?

If reserve coverage is a problem then you can't PD. If you want to drop the trip use the APD for a single day and then WS around that APD. Most likely your best bet is APD the 1st or last day of the trip depending what's available. You will not be paid for this trip nor do I think you can put PB days on top of any APD days.
If you can PD, then call CS and have them put PB days on top of days you'd like to be paid. You can fly on top of TOFF.
If you have vacation remaining then you can use up to 3 IVDs which act exactly like an APD except you are paid. IVDs run immediately before APDs so they potentially have a higher chance of dropping a trip than an APD.
