In a generalization of variationally improved perturbation appropriate to renormalizable asymptotically free theories, we show that the large expansion orders of certain physical quantities are similarly improved, and prove the Borel convergence of the corresponding series for $m_v \lsim 0$, with $m_v$ the new (arbitrary) mass perturbation parameter. We argue that non-ambiguous estimates of quantities relevant to dynamical (chiral) symmetry breaking in QCD, are possible in this resummation framework. %G English %L hal-00307930 %U https://hal.science/hal-00307930 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
