Hello,
I've just been reading the 1040 instructions for 2022 and noticed things have changed.
"For electronic filing, enter the spouse's name or “NRA” if the spouse doesn’t have an SSN or ITIN in the entry space below the filing status checkboxes."
IOW, for NRA spouses who don't have or require an ITIN or SSN leave the SSN field blank and enter NRA in the name field (whether the first or last name field or both, I guess, is left as an exercise for the reader).
😉
