VMCG and V1 on short fields

OK, newbie question here....

Since V1 can never be lower than VMCG, let me ask:

What do you do when taking off a really short runway?

Let's say VMCG is 100 knots (and it acts as V1 as well), but by the time you hit 100 knots (V1) on the take off roll, you wouldn't have enough room to stop the plane on the remaining runway.

You'd think in that case you'd simply lower V1 to account for the short runway... but the dilemna is that you can't do that because V1 cannot be set lower than VMCG. So what do you do?

What am I missing here? I know I'm missing something.
