I get a family portion of pre-packaged BBQ. I will freeze it. When I
am in the mood for a sandwich, I will put the BBQ in the microwave for
10 min on 20% power level. This will thaw it out well enough to pull a
portion off for a sandwich. I will add a little BBQ sauce and
microwave the portion another min on high.

Is refreezing and repeating safe?

No. Why would you want to?

Why don't you just portion it out into sandwich sized portions before
freezing? Then you'd only be nuking the exact food you are going to be
eating that sitting?

Sounds like it's going to destroy the flavour and quality of the meat,
even if it doesn't encourage the breeding of nasties... break it into
individual sandwich-sized portions and freeze them between sheets of
freezer plastic or waxed paper so they can be seperated, and then you
can thaw them one at a time as needed, leaving the rest of the haul
safely frozen. Or else freeze them in small ziplock bags...
