The US will try anyway. Years ago, when the F-117 was still in use, the USAF would regularly acquire permits to fly cargo planes from Germany to Italy over Austria. What they then attempted was letting a F-117 fly really close to the cargo plane (Austria wouldn't allow foreign military planes through their airspace unless for very specific reasons) to try to get over the short way through Austria, as well.

The Austrian Airforce found out about that, and intercepted and sent a few F-117s back to Germany.
