Basically, am I allowed to use a macro that spams the action button to consistently get line skips? it would cut a lot of time off the run, and should be considered.
Generally in the speedrunning community, rebinding keys is allowed, but macros are not. You have to press every button yourself, so a macro to spam action would be forbidden.
Line skips save at most a few seconds, and even if you fail the line clip 4-5 times you only lose around a second, so it wouldn't save a lot of time anyway. In Any% there's only 4 useful line clips, so failing each one a few times would lose you only 4-5 seconds, so they're probably still worth attempting. If you can't get the clips consistently at all, consider just going around the line the standard way.
The way I do line clips is just to spam the space bar alternating with 2 fingers, which works quite well. If you really really want to get line clips first try every time, there's no other way than trying to time them, which is pretty hard. The inputs for that are to flip, wait 1 frame, then flip again. (So 2 flips with a 1/15th second pause.)
