I realize this is not a best practice but is it possible to merge a
branch but at a point before the branch tip?

I do not even think it is not a best practice.  You can do

  $ git fetch --all
  $ git merge origin/master~1

... or whatever commit identifier indeed:

   $ git merge 64fdc08da

is fine too, but you have to find out the 64fdc08da part (using git
log for example).
