You can. On the user's profile, click "Moderator tools" and then choose "privileges" from there. (I'm sorry about the unclear name there.) This takes you to a page where you can grant or suspend specific abilities. We always intended that moderators would be able to make direct grants like this; no automatic system will get it right 100% of the time. Also, as noted, sometimes you need to suspend a specific ability, like if somebody is making lots of rapid-fire bad edits.- The reason for the unclear name is that admins have some additional options on that page, like granting the moderator privilege, which isn't part of the abilities system. But we could change that to "abilities and privileges" to put the more common use case first. That might actually already be done on a branch where we're improving mod tools; I'll check.
