Once you have checked the WAT limits, you can forget all about them. Now you move to the obstacle profile. If you can't meet the gradient then you are too heavy. Either you reduce weight (a bit late for that) or you increase your missed approach height to get around the problem (ie from a higher miss, you can run with a lower gradient). However, in general, that is going to require an ops engineering procedure. No other options I can see ....
