Prop AoA

Can anybody tell me if it is in fact possible to stall a propeller by attempting a go around or take off with a CSU set to an extremely low RPM?

At the moment I imagine that at a very low TAS a prop in the full fine position would have a relatively high AoA as full fine still gives forward thrust up to moderate airspeeds.

If the CSU was to increase blade angle in an attempt to reduce RPM to a low figure, assuming sufficient engine torque, could it not end up going beyond 16 degrees and therefore lose the forward thrust component?

I am assuming that this is one of the many reasons full fine is always set for take off or a go around. Am I incorrect? Is there any protection against this from happening?
