Not from me EW, I suspect, as an old hand, you are well familiar with the long standing paper practice of increasing the taxi burn off to achieve a MTOW restriction and the cruise burn to achieve a landing weight restriction if we are talking relatively minuscule amounts that are almost certainly covered by the use of standard weights.

If this a/c had a MTOW of, say, 60,000kgs then two pax at 200 kgs will be equal to 00.33% of MTOW.

The last thing an operator should do is offload pax, unfortunately initiative and lateral thinking are taking a back seat whilst a cavalier attitude is creeping into some parts of the industry.
