It is possible to give the main character a "duplicate" of the skill, which will take effect. (cf. this thread with console commands: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/71903-console-commandscheats/page-3)
I do not know, however, if you can remove the duplicate skill in case the much anticipated fix is retroactive... wouldn't want my character to wind up with two "Towering Physique", "Armored Grace", and "Confident Aim" buffs permanently active.
