It's not possible because Windu can't do that level of tutaminis. Plus if he tries to touch it it'll just melt him.
By tutaminis I mean reflecting with a lightsaber. I just refer to it like that because its basically the same thing. Either way, Mace isn't purely using Vaapad, hence why he needed the lightsaber. As I said, that description was mostly metaphysical. I mean, the lightning didn't actually pass through him, did it?
The tentacles were unaffected by the Force and a lightsaber straight up phased through it. Mace wouldn't affect it at all.
