If the runway is wide enough you can touch down near one edge with the nose pointed such that you can roll across to the other edge at an angle to slightly reduce the cross component. Don described that above.I am not sure what you mean "except with maybe a very wide runway to angle across"?
I have landed a C152 in 30 knot winds. The tower even questioned if I could.
As to C-152 in 30 kts crosswind component, wow! I didn't think there was wing clearance or rudder enough to do that. I've landed Cessnas in 40+ kt winds, but they weren't much over 45-50º off of the runway heading. Of course I needed a wing walker to taxi to the tiedowns.
