I have a laminated recurve that is 53 pounds at 26.5 inches.Can this bow be retillered to where it might be 53 pounds at 27 inches,27.5 inches or even 28 inches? I wouldnt care if the bows pull weight actually went down a little.Your thoughts?

Yes, it can. I believe you sand the flat part of the limbs evenly until the weight comes down. You might want to wait for some more opinions, though.
