Apparently always possible to electric trim back to middle even when outside of normal electric manual trim range.

from 737NG FCOM 9.20.8 Stabilizer Trim:
In the event the stabilizer is trimmed to the end of the electrical trim limits, additional trim is available through the use of the manual trim wheels. If manual trim is used to position the stabilizer beyond the electrical trim limits, the stabilizer trim switches may be used to return the stabilizer to electrical trim limits.
