And .... this is a showstopper? The principle of aborting if the first thing you try doesn't work is built into some techniques like irimi nage and now and again we've done "combinations," such as you try ikkyo or nikkyo, it doesn't work, so you have to switch to something else. So at the very least, many Aikido people should be acquainted with the principle of aborting and retrying if not the specific scenario.
