Yes, with the Senate filibuster.  This can't be done through reconciliation because it would need to have non-budgetary language in it.  For example, Republicans could cut funding for Obamacare and Medicare, but they couldn't get rid of the mandate or exchanges through reconciliation.

Can they try to attach some amendments to the bill that would make Republicans unwilling to vote for it?

That would work too.  Keep proposing amendments that vulnerable Republicans couldn't possibly vote against.
