Such a grid, were it to exist, would almost certainly cost at least 2-3 times what that little softbox costs. Not much of a market for that. Not that it's a bad idea; it'd be kinda like a really small beauty dish that produces an area of light larger than a bare gridded speedlight.
I usually slap a Honl grid on a speedlight to get a small circle of light. Should be pretty close to a grid on the Lumiquest if you position it further away. I've used that to brighten a face when in shadow.
