The last sentence in the description for Bala's Axe states that it is enables the wielder to cast Dispel Magic once per day, however this was never implemented.
I've modified the Axe so that Dispel Magic may now be cast once per day on a single target (range=20). The spell is cast at the same level of the wielder, with the standard bonuses and penalties applied for being above or below the caster level of the spell(s) to be dispelled.
To cast the Dispel Magic spell, click on the "Use Item" icon on the bottom menu while the Axe is equipped and select your target. (Note: the spell will be drained when you first acquire the Axe, so you will need to rest to recharge it.)
Installation:
Simply extract the file into the override folder within your game directory (typically, 00766).
Feel free to leave comments or suggestions. Enjoy!
*Update 12/08/15: There are separate files for BG and BG2, as the string reference for "Miscast Magic" is not the same in BG2.

With the added dispel magic 1/day ability, isn't the axe now performing as described? Also, what do you mean about the wrong string being used for the miscast magic effect? I'm not seeing anything mentioned in the item description about lowering the target's MR.
Instead of Miscast magic, it is showing 'Magic Resistance Lowered'. AND it doesn't lower the target's magic resistance, though the axe's Miscast magic effect still works. Basically, wrong text for the axe's ability.
Which means the Miscast Magic spell needs to be edited as well so it displays the correct string reference.
I've uploaded separate BG and BG2 versions of Bala's Axe file to my OP.
Seems like a fitting ability for a Wizard Slayer's weapon, if you ask me.
Any ideas?
