It may not be possible as happened in Colgan case. With a stalled wing you can't fight the pitch up. That's the whole point in having this new look at stall recovery. You cannot afford to stall at low level and then seek guarantees. You are taking a chance. In any case in Airbus stall is an issue only in alternate law that too with four cases of alternate law with no protection. In other cases of reduced protection the nose will drop unless sustained back pressure is maintained on the side stick.
My reading of the Colgan accident was that the pilot responded to a stick shaker operation with a nose up control input, then over rode the stick pusher 3 times. Most (probably all) certificated aircraft do not pitch up uncontrollably when stalled.
