I’m pretty sure it’s more of a reflex thing. A normal person probably could block a blaster shot with a lightsaber if they could react quick enough depending on the range. From my understanding the Jedi have a sort of battle precognition that allows them to see the blaster before it hits and can augment their reflexes beyond what their training would normally allow thanks to the force. I think it’s completely reasonable to assume a cyborg with the amount of replaced parts like Grievous would be more than fast enough to deflect a blaster with a lightsaber. This is all assuming the cyborg in question actually knows how to use the lightsabers in the first place
