They do have the crosswind landing gear. But it does have a limit. And what thre do if the crosswind limit is exceeded I'm not sure. Low wing technique could be interesting in the B52. Can't really dip a wing to much. And that would be the only option if the crosswind was beyond the normal limit. Or land in a crab.

When I had to land with the 50kt cross wind in Lajes. You first hold on because with those winds it was continuous moderate turbulence, sometimes sever. And land in a crab with all the rudder in.

Thoughout my years of flying I have found that the worst crosswind is 3 kts, yea 3 kts. I think we relax and allow the aircraft to land in a slight crab which gars you. The times I have had to land at the limits its been a greaser. Guess were working hard and it works out.
