Yes. It would be considered a foul tip not a foul ball. Foul tips are treated as if the hitter never even touched it. In this case a runner may advance at his/her own risk.

Can a runner advance from first or second on a caught foul ball?

Runners can advance in any case even with 2 outs. The batter is different. If first base is occupied with less than 2 outs then the batter cannot advance but everyone else can... It would be more of a steal than drop strike though. If there are 2 outs and he strikes out on a dropped strike, the batter is allowed to advance with a runner already occupying first. In any other case you can go whenever you please

What are the base stealing rules in baseball?

In baseball, base stealing rules allow a runner to advance to the next base while the pitcher is delivering the ball to the batter. The runner must start from a base before the pitcher begins their motion, and they can only advance to the next base if they reach it before the ball is caught by the fielder. If the runner is tagged out before reaching the base, they are called out. There are specific rules and strategies for successful base stealing, including timing the pitcher's delivery and reading the catcher's throw.
