> In general, classical correlation cannot break the Bell inequalities [assuming no peeking, ie. no action-at-a-distance in the measurement devices].

What if the particles have properties that mutate their state after they are sent to Alice and Bob?

Suppose, in the billiards example, that I put a small device into the balls that changes the spin of the ball to some predefined value.

Wouldn't that break the Bell inequalities without action at a distance?

The reason for the breaking would be that the state of the balls would be modified after they are sent to Alice and Bob. It would look like action at a distance without being 'action at a distance'.
