You can still make it look nice, just have to play with it. You could also make the stair go to just a level, and even build the landing out of a generic model in-place, super thing floor to host railing, use structural, steel and etc... It depends on how detailed you would like to take it, I would just think of what you want your end result to look like and who will see it.
I know it's tough to join the dark side with these types work-arounds / fudging but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do lol...
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
