You can definitely use the ITM equity you have as exercise equity. Margin requirement is not 50% of strike; it is 50% of entire position. Equity requirement can be met by a combo of ITM equity and cash if needed. So again, in the case of underlying at 200 and strike at 100, you already have 50% equity so don't need cash in hand. I think you might be getting confused by thinking of the strike as the critical issue; it is not the strike, but rather the entire value of the position.
