Yes: a deterministic LOCC protocol exists for every allowed value of the parameter. Here is an explicit implementation, so existence does not depend on merely quoting a pure-state conversion theorem.

First convert the input Bell state to $|{\Phi }^{+}⟩=(|00⟩+|11⟩)/\sqrt{2}$ by local unitary operations:Write $c=\cos \varphi$ and $s=\sin \varphi$. Alice performs the two-outcome measurement in quantum mechanics with Kraus operatorsThey define a physical measurement in quantum mechanics becauseActing on $|{\Phi }^{+}⟩$, the unnormalized branch vectors areBoth branches have probability $1/2$. Alice communicates the outcome to Bob. If it is one, both apply the Pauli X gate; this turns the normalized second branch into $c|00⟩+s|11⟩$. If it is zero, neither applies this correction. Finally Bob applies a Pauli X gate in either branch, obtainingEvery outcome produces the same target pure state, so this is deterministic local operations and classical communication, not a successful branch selected by postselection. This two-outcome LOCC dilution of a Bell pair remains valid at $\varphi =0$, where the output is a product state, and at $\varphi =\pi /4$, where it is another Bell state.

The target Schmidt coefficients are $c,s$, while those of the input are both $1/\sqrt{2}$. For an interior value $0<\varphi <\pi /4$, local unitary operations alone could not change these Schmidt coefficients; the local measurement in quantum mechanics is the step that reduces the entanglement.
