He can, unless that functionality has been changed. Customize will
present the invalid value in an sexp widget. Which seems the most
reasonable thing to in the general case.
If he don't know what to do with an sexp, he can do a "Reset to
standard value", and then use the structured editor.

You could special case the "choice" widget (most widget can have
"invalid value", so the problem is general). But I don't think the
code complexity would outweigh the minor convenience of not having to
do a "Reset to standard" first.
