Software Transactional Memory (1997)

Common Lisp has it too, via https://stmx.org/ I believe it supports the Intel TSX stuff if present and falls back to a software implementation if not present.
Is there any double compare-and-swap (DCAS) library for CL?

https://github.com/cosmos72/stmx is transactional memory, so I think it does a bit more than simple CAS. CAS is in https://shinmera.github.io/atomics .

Bordeaux-Threads API v2

On the latter, I'm aware of the atomics package and have considered using it, but it would significantly cut down on the number of supported platforms compared to BT.

Not sure. You can check the atomics package. But ConcurrentHashMap in Java works with locks internally.
