Is there a way to flash the stock Google firmware and then unlock the bootloader that way?

If not I'll just have to wait until someone makes a depixel 8 for oreo :p

There is only one way, from now until the end of time, to unlock the bl of a Verizon Pixel. Sell it and buy a Google version.

Sent from my Pixel using XDA-Developers Legacy app

If you managed to get a Pixel with an older security update you would be able to. If you bought it NEW one, most likely it comes with the updated version.

I would suggest taking it back and buying it through the Google website.
