I would go weaker and try to stay near the shot I was playing.  Then at last resort go left.

Straighter is greater until later

I personally move in generally I start with 3 boards with my feet and 2 on the lane and adjust from there. This may vary depending on who I’m bowling with and where on the lane they are playing in relation to me.  

I figure if I had the right combination of speed and turn on the original line I would like to keep that so adjusting lines is my first option.

Like Bones says, there are options, it all depends on the lanes, and your ability to change your game. I tend to use the same ball, but make a move left and maybe use a little weaker release. The condition you describe, may take more drastic measures. I would move left and go to a weaker ball. A shot or two will tell you what your next move is. Keep moving left until you have to ask the guy on the left lane if he will move over.  

If all else fails, grab the spare ball.

Rags,

Sometimes I make a large move left to find the oil using a polished ball looking to get some skid and retaining energy to carry the pocket. A large move sometimes is too much but you can see that there is hold there somewhere.  Small moves on a condition like that doesn't seem to work for me. But if you are using a polished ball, that will make the ball jump when it hits the backends once dry.  Using a weaker polished ball might be better, but will still move fast when it hits the dry, of course release makes a difference.  I have seen bowlers play up against the ball return swinging the ball dramatically.  I'm sure most have seen pros loft it over the gutter caps.

But one time I bowled along side of Mika and I was playing very deep and Mika was just rolling it down the lane with little swing and consistently hitting the pocket.  He had no polish on the ball and I think he was throwing a Money.  Particle vs reactive is also a major difference in reaction on flying back ends.  But with the polish off the ball it lost energy quicker and didn't over react once it found the dry.  Realizing of course very few people bowl as well as Mika

Rags, quietly move to the lane you were SUPPOSED to be bowling on...

actually, that radical a change would've caused me throw out current history and pretend I just walked in the door.  
WIth what you described, I would've pulled out the yellow dot and thrown straight up five.  the trick is to do it first before everyone else notices and makes the adjustment.
