Slightly Specific Stress Question

By frostrunner, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So i was playing a game today, where i had the MF with lando as the pilot, his skill gave one of my X wings a free action (focus), that same X wing then performed a red maneuver, now where we couldnt find clarification on was this: during the combat phase, can that X wing use that focus token to modify the dice or because he had the stress token, no?
