No. Roughing the kicker is not a dead ball foul, so why is roughing the holder?

And dead ball fouls are enforced just like any other dead ball penalty. You do not get an option; you apply only to the succeeding spot.

I fully feel they will change this rule next year because of this obvious hole in the rule.
