I would stop after V1 for two reasons and two reasons only:

1) Total engine failure (no choice)

2) Unable to rotate, for example a jammed elevator (ditto)

Either situation is extremely unlikely. V1 isn't always calculated as a result of remaining runway distance. Think also in terms of brake energy or max tyre speed for example.
