I would like to, but this is a root partition so when I do multipath -F it says device is in use, I would also need to update fstab, to reflect the new locations of root, swap, and boot. The question is this…. Can I do so without having to created a new initrd? or reconfiguring grub

Did you blacklisted the device in /etc/multipath.conf and reloaded the service? If you did it, what is the output of multipath -ll command?

About /etc/fstab, I think you don't need update nothing, as the partitions are identified by UUID not by device name.
