I have an inner corner that is only 64 degrees. This means that the molding (cove) should be cut at a 90 - 64/2 = 58 degree angle from the molding's longitudinal direction.
I have a hand miter saw and a chop saw but neither of them can be set to such a large angle.
Does anyone have an "ingenious solution" on how to go about it, or will it be drawing a line (difficult on such molding) and cutting "freehand"?

If you want to use your miter saw, you should be able to do it like this:
1. Find a piece of board (e.g., MDF) that is rectangular/square. Let's pretend it's 25x30 cm to make it easier to explain.
2. Set the miter angle to 0 degrees.
3. Place the 30 cm side against the fence.
4. Align the blade with the 25 cm side.
5. Clamp the board down. Now you have a simple 25 cm fence that is 90 degrees to the saw's fence.
6. Set the miter angle to 32 degrees (90-58) towards the direction the board is not clamped.
7. Place the molding along the 25 cm side you aligned with the blade.
8. Saw and enjoy your 58-degree angle.
The above works, of course, only if you are cutting one end of a molding, but maybe it’s enough to solve your problem? The piece of board doesn't have to be fully rectangular/square either; it's enough that the two sides mentioned above are at a right angle to each other.
This was just something I thought of right now. I have not tested it in reality, so I must reserve myself for any lapses in thinking
There are probably simpler ways to do it as well...
