Is death Angron's only way out?

I've been reading 40k shorts (lore has always been my schtick anyway, more so than gaming) and honestly Angron's fate is so...sad? Tragic? His silly name notwithstanding he's a character who was intended to be an empath and healer, who ended up screwed over first by the world he landed on then by the Emperor (why did Big E let some of his sons settle their affairs on their world before hitting the Crusade tour, or helped them, but in Angron's case just forcibly took him away from his comrades?), then by Lorgar and finally Khorne.

In some of the stories I've read even with the Butcher's Nails ticking away, the still-mortal Angron expressed care and concern for others. If I remember correctly he comforted a dying loyalist World Eater on Istvaan III, and checked to see if a disabled navigator on the Conqueror was all right after an attack. As a Daemon Primarch when disembodied by the Choral Engine blowing up he hopes it's a permanent death, only for Khorne to start stitching him back together.

So...I guess what I'm wondering is if death is really the only way out for him, and if there's any part of that empath still left after his ascension. If Horus was forgiven moments before being wiped out of existence, can Angron be granted a similar grace or at the least lucidity to be who he was before the Butcher's Nails were implanted?

Then again, considering the shit deal Big E gave him I doubt it would come from him like it did with Horus. A broken tool is still useful etc etc.
