The screen resolution for the rasp pi on my visio TV is 1280x720 @ 60.00Hz, progressive
but when I launch kodi, it changes it to 1366x768 @ 60.00Hz, progressive which is not supported by my TV

This a clean new setup. Raspbian with all updates, then installed kodi.

Running with the desktop:
@raspberrypi:~ $ tvservice -s
state 0xa [HDMI CUSTOM RGB lim 16:9], 1280x720 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

Started kodi, no screen
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tvservice -s
state 0xa [HDMI CUSTOM RGB full 16:9], 1366x768 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

How can I edit the configuration for kodi and keep the resolution at 1280x720 @ 60.00Hz, progressive?

exit Kodi
then try something like: mv ~/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml ~/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml.old and then start Kodi again.

Does that fix something?

Nope, same thing.... nothing has been configured in kodi yet... but I need a way to enter some kind of safe video mode just to select the resolution

I guess you could set it on your desktop and copy the settings over.

I've not found in the kodi settings where it specifies the resolution... do you know where that is?

From the startup of kodi here's the last part of the log file showing the resolutions. Note the bold line, that's the resolution I would like kodi to use...

Help?

So accordingly to your TV EDID, 1366x768 is a supported resolution. Native resolution is CEA mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive by the way. Why do you say 1366x768 is not supported ? Is there anythong wrong with Kodi in that resolution ?
PS: You only have 76MB of RAM dedicated to the GPU. Kodi won't work good with only that. The recommend GPU RAM for the RPI 4 is 320MB.

Ok, using tvservice I have been able to get a kodi screen. Here's what happens:
From the working desktop, start kodi. Screen is blank/purple
ssh in and do tvservice --off
Then tvservice -e "CEA 4"
The kodi screen is then working.

1366x768 doesn't show in this list:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tvservice --modes=CEA
Group CEA has 9 modes:
mode 1: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive
mode 2: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz progressive
mode 3: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz progressive
(prefer) mode 4: 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
mode 5: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced
mode 6: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced
mode 7: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced
(native) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive
mode 32: 1920x1080 @ 24Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive

So, mode 4 works. I'm going to test some other modes and see which ones work well.

OK, got it working, both the desktop and kodi work with a resolution of
(native) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive
mode 32: 1920x1080 @ 24Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive

So mode 32 it is.

The recommended resolution is the native one which in your case is CEA mode 16 1920x1080. Both the desktop (xorg server) and Kodi should be using that. Why they don't, I don't know, probably some setting in your TV internal settings.
If I couldn't find any setting in the TV that may cause this, I would force the native mode in /boot/config.txt and see.

Both mode 16 and 32 work, I just don't have a need for the higher scan rate.
