The answer to that is quite simple. Gimli of course, could have succumbed. He would have succumbed because the ring does have somewhat of a degree of power over each and every race.

About Dwarves, I don't think Gimli would have had any better chance at resisting.
I thoroughly agree. As I said earlier:

But I still think that it could have corrupted any of [the Fellowship] given sufficient time, and particularly the nearer they came to Mordor. And I get the sense that the Hobbits would have been the last to succumb, given their particular resilience to it.
