Based on the most helpful WSO content, there are indeed stories of individuals who have delayed their graduation to secure better Summer Analyst (SA) positions.
One such story involves a student who missed the SA 2019 recruiting season. They considered delaying their graduation to December 2020 to enter the SA 2020 recruiting season with a better understanding of the process. This would also allow them to practice modeling and prep for Investment Banking (IB) for a few more months and potentially raise their GPA before submitting resumes. If they couldn't secure a SA 2020 position, they planned to revert to their original graduation date.
Another story involves a student who received a SA offer at a Bulge Bracket (BB) bank. They were planning to graduate in 2022 but considered tweaking their academic schedule, which they hadn't been asked about during recruiting. They were planning to explain this by saying they had already planned to delay graduation due to Covid.
These stories show that delaying graduation to secure better SA positions is a strategy some students consider and implement. However, it's important to weigh the potential benefits against the costs, such as additional tuition fees.

I know one IVY grad (Harvard, Yale, Princeton) that didn’t get good offers for IB so he is doing a 1 year Masters in Finance and doing recruiting again. I’m sure he will find success— makes sense if ur undergrad degree is not in Finance or Econ and u didn’t get the traction you hoped coming out
