I went through a refi last year with a traditional mortgage bank. had the same scenario, first appraisal came back super low, we argued the valuation and ultimately got nowhere. we decided to start over with a different lender, and got a 2nd appraisal exactly 16 days after the first one was dated, and the valuation was almost $80k more. sometimes starting over is all you can do.
