The answer to this question is no, as the Bolt of Gransax can only be obtained before burning the Erdtree and defeating Maliketh, the Black Blade in Crumbling Farum Azula. Once these events have occurred, the Leyndell, Royal Capital will be destroyed, and the Bolt of Gransax will be lost, requiring a new playthrough to acquire it.
