CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveKDE-1511.iso crashes on my AMD/ATI Radeon machine. I installed CentOS-7.2 by first installing CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveKDE-1503.iso, then appending GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="initcall_blacklist=clocksource_done_booting" to /etc/default/grub and running update-grub.
My question is: would there be any way, short of re-compiling the ISO, of altering the grub.cfg seen when booting from a USB stick?

That issue is very specific to some older/lighter AMD cpus, and the bug report is here : https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=9860 (probably where you found the workaround) I don't think that it's worth a respin, nor a custom iso for that issue, as one can just edit the Live image boot parameters (through isolinux config), and then apply the parameter through grub (as you did)
