The solution is to create your custom GeneralClickAction with view visibility that you want to click less then Espresso's GeneralClickAction requires. Currently the minimum visibility value is 90% - see code here line 60. Set it to be 80% or less. Just copy the whole class rename it and change the value provided to this method to 80 isDisplayingAtLeast(80). Then create your click action that uses your custom GeneralClickAction:

  public static ViewAction customClick() {
      return actionWithAssertions(
          new CustomGeneralClickAction(Tap.SINGLE, GeneralLocation.VISIBLE_CENTER, Press.FINGER));
  }

But I'd rather fix the layout of the activity if possible to avoid creation of workaround for button visibility.
