Can you do Hollywood studios without Genie?

The most efficient way to ride it is to purchase an Individual Lightning Lane. However, I was testing touring without this option so I was going to need to wait in line for it at some point during the day. A popular option for riding is to rope drop the attraction during Early Entry to try to minimize wait times.

No you cannot. The app will only allow you to select that attraction once. If something is a favorite for you and you'd like to ride twice, I suggest you hit that attraction early in the day with low waits via the Standby Line and save your Disney Genie+ return window for later in the day.
