Kill unresponsive process by name but preserve responsive processes

For some reason, I end up with a fair few Google Chrome Helper processes which stop responding, hogging CPU resources. Usually I just run killall Google\ Chrome\ Helper, however this kills all, including the responsive processes meaning that I have to restart Chrome.

Is there a flag for killall so it only affects unresponsive processes?
