[Q] Is it possible to root without installing a custom recovery?

On hboot 1.44 it was, but you're likely on a higher version already, so what you can do is flash recovery, root, and reflash stock recovery. That way you'll still get OTAs once you relock your bootloader (assuming that you're s-on, otherwise no need to relock)

How does one reflash stock recovery? I have never done that before, didn't need too.

you can flash your stock recovery the same way you flash a custom recovery. The only thing you need is to find the stock recovery you need. Check what is your main-ver # and download the ruu.zip or ota.zip that match your main-ver and extract the zip to find the recovery.zip file. Then move it to your adb/fastboot folder and open a cmd prompt from that folder.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.zip
fastboot rebootyou can also copy/paste the output of this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar allminus EMEI and SN and maybe we'll be able to link you the stock recovery you'll need to flash after you have rooted your device.
