I am also vertically challenged and will be looking for a solution.

A couple of years ago, Mom and I had a microwave installed over our stove in our St. Augustine Beach condo. The appliance store recommended a carpenter to rework the upper cabinet and trim. We also needed an electrician to install a different outlet for the microwave but that wouldn't be a problem in TV as the microwave is already there. I know they were concerned about the clearance between a large pot and the microwave. it was close but met the requirements.

Maybe you should check with a cabinet installer.
