If an approach end arrestment is available, the only configuration not recommended for landing the F-22 is one MLG down. Naturally the checklist covers its own ass by saying "if conditions are not favorable for landing consider ejection." Procedures are written for landing with any other gear configuration. So, in the same circumstance as the Shaw accident the -1 would direct an approach-end arrestment as was attempted in that mishap; the Raptor also has the ACES II, which malfunctioned. All the more reason to have a missed cable gameplan and discuss it with any mutual support available. In this circumstance, that likely becomes going around and executing a go-around and executing a controlled bailout from an altitude that allows time to pull the manual override handle if necessary.
