There is a chance. Actually, V/S = 0 is a way out and a decent choice. With 4000 fpm or alike it comes WAY too early and causes a whole lot of trouble.
Other methods, as you suggest, are actually futile and create even more confusion. V/S=0 is the way to go, unless you disconnect and remove FDs. In the heat of the moment, many forget the latter and you can guess the rest. For 1000-leveloff RA encounters without FDs, the statistics already spoke.
V/S = 0 is a trustworthy tool to get out of unwanted ALT*.
