The thing about the Volobotomy is that you pretty much have to forgo any sort of sense to get it, and I don't think any of the main companions would actually go through with it unless they were well and truly desperate.

Lae'zel is FRANTIC to get the tadpole removed and is willing to undergo torture or kill everyone just because it's there, so she's probably the most likely. That said, she does not suffer fools. At all. She would prefer to make Volo cower.

Shadowheart is also very impatient with people who don't know their shit (see: her calling you a donkey because you can't remember Gale's very specific instructions for retrieving his scroll of resurrection), and she's suspicious besides. She might suffer through it because loss or something, idk, but she'd be insulting Volo's intelligence the entire time.

Astarion has more patience, but he REALLY doesn't want to get hurt anymore. Also, he likes what the tadpole is doing for him. I don't think he'd go anywhere near Volo, honestly.

Gale might entertain him because he doesn't see an alternative and he feels he has nothing left to lose, but again--these are smart people. Volo's eye removal conversation has SO many red flags.

Wyll doesn't have an eye to remove. I think he'd have ethical issues with Volo, but also he might be the most likely to take a "why not" approach to the entire thing, so it's a little ironic.

Karlach's already been torn open and forced to accept foreign bodies as a part of her anatomy. I think if she did go through with it, it might trigger her very badly and give her nightmares. If she did go through with it then I think she'd take "I guess..." approach.

Minsc might. I don't know him well enough yet.
