Like, if he about faced and started acting good? Or what if he was good the entire time?

If it’s the latter then butcher would have never had a reason to dislike him in the first place. If it’s the former I don’t think he’d be able to convince anyone he’d changed his ways.

I don’t think Stan or soldier boy are capable of respecting anyone. Stan explicitly only sees him as a product, and soldier boy… sucks.
