Seems the option is not there on 777 ;-)
Can you elaborate on situations where it would ne "more limiting" to use F20/F5? Do you mean in any of a G/A phase or for landing?

That's indeed the solution recommended by a friend.
The other solution would be to dump fuel until at a weight where the G/A clb gradient can be ensuredusing flaps 30 but well, it's not really an answer
