I tried renaming the boot loader: efibootmgr -b <num> -L "Windows Boot Loader" But it appears to not have any effect. I don't think sd-boot helps in this case.

But sd-boot requires all the kernels and such are on the FAT32 formatted ESP. It just doesn't like GRUB. I think you have to figure out what the firmware wants.
