There's no logical reason why such a position shouldn't exist, though
I've never heard of anyone taking it.

Champions of the extreme mesorah-trumps-metzius position (i.e. the ones
who will kill lice on Shabbos) will be mekil on both.  Those who allow
new discoveries about metzius a vote, if not a veto, in halacha, will
treat each case independently, depending on how strong the mesorah is,
and how sure we are of the metzius.  And certainly those who follow an
extreme elah-mah-she'enav-ro'ot position will follow the evidence
wherever it leads them, which may well be to permit swordfish but forbid
anisakis (even in a swordfish).
