Folks,
Various comments about the nose gear.
Believe me, in the situation under discussion, the ONLY contribution of the nose gear is to keep the nose off the ground. Nose gear steering is not going to contribute anything of significance to staying on the runway.
Indeed, depending on the weight and CofG, just doing a turn on a surface of normal friction, dead slow speed, can get interesting, with the usual muck and a bit of rain, work it out for yourself.
Use of differential brake, and a bit of thrust on the outboard, read Boeing's "recommendations" carefully, all is permitted that is not specifically prohibited.
Bottom line, "in the event", how fast you get the thrust levers hard back on the stops will determine the tenor of the discussion, when you next have a chat with the CP.
