If it still exists that glitch won't help you because it will not get you the level It will just make you skip it. You will not get the 17 crafting material reward of level 15, and getting the drops to craft the armor without it will force you to beat the EB till level 25 or something. At that level the EB is much stronger than at level 15.

Of course you can try it just to see if it works. But don't think you will gain anything of it.
