I just did this quest today on the PS3 version and i was able to raise ser westleys defence high enough for the griffin to get bored of him by using three Steel nut salves(spiny nut+loneflower i think) right before he gets taken by the griffin. It wasn't able to kill him after its repeated attacks and looked like it just got bored and threw him aside. He got back up with a good chunk of his health missing but was alive nonetheless. A few spring waters and he was as good as new. He seemingly knew that he had very little time before the griffin cut off his path(It destroys some of the floor right after dealing with ser westly) and booked it incredibly fast back to the rest of the group the second he got up from the mauling so, TLDR:

You can save ser westley by just popping 3 steel nut salves before ser westley gets taken and maybe pause and use a spring water or two while he's getting mauled if you want to be safe about it (or after, he was able to survive without me healing him during the attack) and once he gets up he will rejoin the party. Hope this helps solve some peoples worries about how to keep him alive.

~ If you feel like renting out my level 142 pawn for free on the ps3 version, feel free to add me, My online ID is Pikk91. I still play pretty often so i'm sure i'll get around to trying your pawn as well. Heads up though,  I purposely give him weak rusted weapons so fights don't end too quickly and his vocation changes constantly since i made him as well rounded as i could.
