Ok, did some testing: Even if you miss, you will use the skill on the next successful hit and will get a skill check. So as long as you hit at least once after using the skill, you'll get a gain. One-handed vs two-handed doesn't make a difference.
I have confirmed that using lightning strike does trigger skill gain regardless of what weapon you have. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be seeing gains other than bad luck with the skill check timer. You can have up to 5 skills training at once, so if you had weapon-related skills training it might have kept bumping precision off.
So, I'm going to close this.
