it means to take something too far or to cross a boundary

They are mostly the same.
I think a subtle difference would be “you step OVER the line” sounds more like you are crossing a boundary, or going too far with something.
“You step OUT of line” sounds more like you are breaking a rule, or not behaving as you should.
They are basically interchangeable though.
