That's when an 'aborted landing' after T/R selection might make sense.
Both Boeing and Airbus tell you that there are circumstances in which taking a big risk will mitigate a potentially catastrophic outcome (eg exceeding engine limits to avoid ground contact). It’s very telling that when it comes to thrust reverser deployment they are unequivocal: a full stop landing must be made.

You’re beyond test pilot territory if you continue and a failure to stow is uncommanded engine idle or shutdown at best, hull loss at worst (with secondary casualties on the ground).
