Yeah, you could do a second roll to "confirm the auto-failure" if the target number was 16 or higher, at -10.

i.e. If something with a stat of 16+ rolls a 16-18, roll again against stat -10 to see if the auto-fail result actually applies or not. A success on the -10 roll could either be a success in all cases, or lower the auto-fail result as if the original roll were one lower.
