I think you can. If it is arithmetically good you can make it legally good. How? By increasing the planned trip fuel or if company policy allows by increasing the planned trip and taxi fuel (on the loadsheet)
I just want to make me clear again to avoid misunderstanding, common sense should be used about the quantity (I am not talking about tons of last minute load but about 2 or 3 passengers)
Remember, the figures on the loadsheet are not the real ones, so if it shows that you land at 63,324t in real it will be more than that or less than that depending on the actual weight of every passenger. You may have easily 100 or 150 kgs difference.
However, when I plan my extra fuel because of bad weather or traffic or whatever, I try to keep the planned ldw at a maxi of 1t or 500 kgs less than the mlw to have margin in case of shortcut which is very common in some areas.
