That's why digital technology is great and you should take advantage
of it when needed!
But if you are using a multicontrast paper, you can try to print for
the midtone, perhaps to be on a bit lighter side. Then you can switch
the filter to 5 and give additional exposure. The second exposure
should be adjusted so that the shadow is significantly darker but
without darkening midtone too much.
If you somehow manage to get the midtone/shadow right but not enough
highlights, use dilute ferricyanide bleach, or possibly ammonium
thiosulfate - citric acid bleach. The latter is more limited and also
very slow working.
I'd also burn in the bottom, center to right (floor).
