...Such as you have an aeroplane on a strip in the middle of nowhere which is only *just* long enough to get airborne from. This would probably have been an emergency landing, so you have the choice (let's say it's a heavy jet) of leaving $???M of aeroplane to rot there or getting some volunteers to take it out with no real options in the event of a post-V1 failure. As a one-off, non- public transport operation the risks would probably be deemed acceptable. I'm pretty sure that full power would be set on the brakes and left there for a while until all were happy!
There are three-engined ferry flights done every now-and-then on four-engined aircraft and these sometimes involve a 'period of uncertainty' where another failure, especially on the same side, would leave you unable to stop or get into the air. Nasty. Most operators crew these on a volunteer basis as well.
Then I suppose there is the single-engined aircraft. As you're planning to force-land (crash) straight ahead in the event of a power plant failure below a certain height anyway, then having very little/no runway left at rotate is of academic importance (assuming there's not enough to land back on...)
