Q: Hypothetical nosegear tire blow-out proceedure

Scenario:

On a 747-400... You've just passed V1 for take-off... Then a nose-gear tire pops, causing a bad vibration.

Questions:

1) If possible, would you prematurely rotate just enough to get the nosegear wheels off the ground--to eliminate the vibration etc? (and then of course properly take-off later as V2 speeds dictate?)

Or

2) Do you just keep the nose wheels on the ground vibrating all the way down the runway until proper VR speed? Thx.
