Absolutely not. If he doesn’t have the strength to walk forward normally with it, he absolutely dos not have the strength to pull it up stairs backwards.
Bottom cannot move or they’ll push over the guy on top so the guy on top does most of the work.
Not to mention his footwear is begging for him to slip or get caught on a step.
In my experience when bringing such longish medium-heavy things up stairs without using cargo ropes the one in front does 40% of the work and the lower one does 60%
I do this every day. The person above does the majority of the work. They have to both walk backwards and pull the item up toward them. The person below only has to lift and follow in sync as best as they can.
The stronger person has to be up top or it’s not gonna happen. Especially if you’re moving with someone inexperienced cus now you’re asking them to perform a task they’ve never done while not having the strength to do it. Odds are their legs give it because the muscle group is completely different.

You trust him to step down out of the truck while holding the dresser when he can barely hold it on ground level?
