Only top top tier can just take a direct hit from Kaido with Thunder Bagua and still be able to fight at the same level. If you tank, you resist to the damage, your fight won't be changed, if not, you cannot tank, even if you stay conscious.
So, I think that only Luffy and Zoro, only at the climax of the battle, could tank the TB, before the finishing blow, just like Luffy resisted the second and third Rokuogan (but not the first one), cause its a matter of plot and tension.
Until that moment, they will dodge or counterattack or be taken down, cause Imho that's the only coherent way of writing the fight and depicting Kaido feature attack, for what we've seen so long.
And no, even Jimbe or Raid Sanji won't last against it, if directly hit (see Jimbe vs Mama or Akainu, when unable to block, he was koed by Magma-boy)
