Gladly TCTC - similar thing happened to me once in CDG. First Officer landing - got it a bit long and drifting to one side. I did the standard GA procedure - works even after a touch - the spoilers retract on thrust lever movement and you climb away safe and sound.
Inconvenient perhaps but better than an uncertain result after pushing your luck.
