So, I assume your CATEGORY field is multiValued but each value is not broken up into tokens, right? If that's the case, would it work to have a second field CATEGORY_TOKENIZED and run your fq against that field instead?
You could have this be a multiValued field with an increment gap if you wanted to prevent matches across separate entries and have your fq do a proximity search where the proximity was less than the increment gap....
