I recently had to resize my /boot.  The original install was several
Fedora versions back was 500MB, and more recent installs are 1GB.

What I did was backup my file systems to an external USB drive, boot
off the netinstall ISO, re-partition, re-mkfs, restore, then go
through all the UUID hassles recently documented in another thread.
If you have a sufficient drive to use for backups this may be the
easiest solution - it is probably the safest.

You are using LUKS which may complicate things.....
