Red face What pilots can do in X-wind Autoland?

Boeing planes' autoland system will do runway alignment, or decrab maneuver at about 500ft radio altitude in crosswind, then a sideslip will be established to reduce the crab angle and maintain plane on the localizer by what manual said, but it seems the A/P can not land plane on the runway centerline even the runway if there's strong crosswind (>20kt)which is within the A/P landing limitations(maybe <24kt),
I would like to know if the pilot can handle the rudder or ailerons to avoid plane blown to the downwind grassland with A/P engaging?
