I tried the nativedisk command of GRUB some years ago but cannot recollect in any detail whether it solved my issue with three machines unable to boot from a USB stick. I went back to using Plop with GRUB either because nativedisk didn't help or because Plop is an easy to implemennt solution. https://www.plop.at/ -- Brian.
