No.
Once fully stalled, the position of the collective makes little difference.
It may reduce the AoA temporarily by 5°.
Once much above 10°, AoA will increase quickly, once RPM decays and Rate of Descent builds.
If you arrive at AoA >12-13° with lever full down, it's game over. Watch the Rotor stop in about 5s from there. (In a low inertia rotor system, a high inertia one may expand that towards 10s).
Edit:
After having read @Grenville's comment I think me too misunderstood the point you were trying to make. See my comment to @Grenville.
