No.
They all decay well less than 1 micro-second.
So, I thnk some can make it through the calorimeter's of the Atlas detector; but will decay to a mix of stable electrons, protons, neutrons, neutrinos, and photons probably well before getting above ground.
I think the stranglets could be stable, but they are hypothetical hadrons composed of an up, down, and strange quark.
Theoretically they can exist in multiples of the basic three.
LHC is not really the right machine for stranglet production anyway.
RHIC is where most of that research is being done.

Also, there is the ice-nine runaway effect that is possible with stranglet production whereby the earth ends up as a large lump of strange matter.

I think the biggest effect LHC has on the environment is how much electriciity it consumes.
I heard they have to wait for the weather to warm to run it full blast.
It is either they use the juice to heat Geneva in the winter or run the LHC.
