Those are MINIMUMS, not recommendations.
Sure but that is what the tire is designed to support at those pressures right? .....
Yes, but just barely. Not a good practice.

I am merely saying that the tables are a minimum, not a recommendation and it looks like the GY tech support agrees with me.

I would need some additional information. Like year, make, and model of trailer. What does the vehicle manufacturer specify? Are actual weights available?
In other words, the sort of thing a vehicle manufacturer would go through when they make their specification.
Yes, we know that some trailer manufacturers didn't do a good job of specifying tires and pressures. Is Jerry's vehicle one of them? Do we have reason to disagree with their specification?
These are all questions that I would need to make a recommendation.

..... Answer this. I am around 4,500# load on each tire and the GY "H" tires were not holding up running them at 125psi with a rating of 4,805#. Now I went with the Continental's with 6,005# rating at 125psi. Would you run 125 psi or lower pressure like 100 that gives 5,200# capacity?
Why so argumentative?
But to answer your question, see the above for how I would do it. Your question doesn't contain the information I would seek before giving an answer.
