Assuming you have backups, if something should go south, you might want to try
out the Gparted boot-iso.
Using Gparted you should be able to shrink some of the other partitions, and
then grow the boot partition.
More info on:
https://gparted.org/index.php
If you have another non-critical computer to test using Gparted on, do that
first before doing it "for real".
Hope this helps.
