I didn't think that was possible, but some "experts" say it happens.
Can a female blossom be partially (but insufficiently) pollinated?

yes & yes
Typically early in the season the pollination is low b/c bees are nearing extinction. Golden Glory is a yellow zuch that exhibits parthenocarpic tendencies so you could try that. I'm planting mine this week and plan to cover to test the pollination. Otherwise hand pollination works and is easy.
