Yes, FAT32 is not supported yet. I know there is an unofficial patch
for it, so GRUB will support it in the future...

Exactly. stage1_lba is undocumented, but it works almost the same
way as the normal stage1. Be careful that stage1_lba supports _only_
LBA mode. You cannot use it for any drive that does not support LBA
(i.e. floppy).
