Motivated by recent experiments on Rydberg atoms in a 1D trap, we study the phase transition out of the $mathbb{Z}_4$ crystalline phase in the context of a hard-boson model with two-site blockade. Using extensive DMRG simulations, we show that the transition along the commensurate line is in the Ashkin-Teller universality class with an exponent $
u simeq 0.78$, large enough for chiral pertubations to be relevant. This is further confirmed by our numerical results along the transition line which show that the transition immediately leaves the Ashkin-Teller universality class, and which are consistent with a small range of chiral transition followed by the opening of a floating phase.
