[Star Wars] Could a droid with a hand made from pure beskar catch the blade of a lightsaber, and then force it out of the way? If so, for how long could they hold it?

Well in last episode of Mandalorian a spear out of pure beskar began glowing perilously red when it was parrying a lightsaber for an extended period of time, so probably lighsaber EVENTUALLY will melt it, maybe indeed in a minute or so. In combat though it's still more than enough to parry or deflect lightsaber blows, although advantage of surprise won't last long.
