I am wondering if running gparted from a live disk would allow you to
resize /boot without losing any data.

Not if he uses LVM, unless there have been big changes in the last day
or two, in a program where the feature has been discussed and promised
for many years. If gparted had the fairly trivial ability to move and
resize a partition it doesn't understand it would be useful.

I use a ping / pong disk setup, so I'll just nuke the LVM partition,
resize /boot, make a new LVM, and copy my data over and make a dump as
usual.
