Ive flown BOS LAX a lot on the 738. AWABS even at high GW will show 9/27 as legal.
But as already stated...whats legal isnt always whats smart. Or safe. And thats a rule that applies to all operations. Even those involving the very capable 757.

Just ask Captain Hershe / CAL 603. 😆
In the case of a shorter SL rwy its not likely a CL. But if im remembering right ALTN and AT are used to 'consume' excess RATOW and approach balanced field situation.
And as on CAL 603 the bad ending to a takeoff roll may not involve any kind of engine failure.
