Had the wind been 36, then even 1kt outside of the limits is too much and unless there was some leeway or an allowed deviation in the SOPs, then you are not going anywhere.
Personally, I wouldn't take such an attitude for a Go/No Go decision based on 1 knot below a maximum crosswind limit at a company as being "good to go". I should think that an appropriate real world answer would be that it depends....on my comfort and experience level on the aircraft, as a captain anyways. First few hours on the machine with no previous experience in high winds...no go. Significant terrain around...no go. Plenty of experience on type in this situation and comfortable with it....Go.
