Editing a strobe light scene

Hi everyone, I'm very shortly going to begin shooting my zero budget feature length and I'm worried about a certain party scene that involves strobe lights. I'll be shooting on DSLR and the strobe leaves a horrible artifact in the footage, I checked and apparently this happens for all DSLR's, the shutter can't keep up with the strobe. I don't have access to any other kind of camera, so I was wondering is a strobe light effect something I could edit post production? (while still looking reasonably good)

What I mean is, could I light the room in a certain way, but have the light continuously on (not strobing), and then edit the scene frame by frame, darkening the majority of the frames? Would this look like an actual strobe or would it just look like I've edited it frame by frame? Thanks for your time
