My friend needs help (again)

Unfortunately to port the engine to Godot, it would basically need to be rewritten from scratch. Godot uses completely different programming languages from Game Maker so there really is no easy way to just "port" the engine to another platform. It's difficult, but he could try his hand at trying to make his own engine in Godot, or just bite the bullet and purchase Game Maker Studio.

Would it be that risky to bite the bullet?
