It depends if Misaki can actually destroy memories or just suppress them. If she can destroy memories, then Imagine Breaker is only able to prevent the damage, not fix it. So unless he can touch his head in time to prevent the wipe, he could possibly be permanently wiped.

Strange though, if things targetting the mind can only be blocked if Touma touches his head, like in Himegami's story arc when he got Confundus'd by Aureolus Izzard and he cancelled the spell when he touched his head with Imagine Breaker, why was he immune to the Judgement girl's telepathy in the Kazakiri Hyouka story arc? I don't think he was holding his head the whole time in the anime, though I would have to re-watch the episode to double check. Unless he was touching his head the whole time in the light novel and it wasn't done in the anime or manga? Or does the strength of the telepath matter as well? I could have sworn Misaki was able to shoot him a telepathic message in the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga(if it can be considered canon).
