No, you can only select 'Dual' flagged exit nodes (Exit+Guard) for the
guard position. Hence it doesn't make sense to have a Wge weight.

In normal operation, Tor uses Guard nodes. If the user configured it
to use bridges, Tor behaves as if those bridges were its guard nodes.
If the user has specified a strict set of EntryNodes, Tor uses those
as if they were guard nodes.
