Is it possible to make/buy a gramophone for 33 1/3 LPs?
Do gramophones exist that would play a modern 33 1/3 RPM records without damaging it? If not, would it be possible to build one yourself? What are the limitations of a purely analogue gramophone (one with a crank handle and a spring)?

If you mean a purely acoustic gramophone, with a needle and a soundbox and a horn, then no. Vinyl records are softer than shellac 78-rpm records and would be damaged by playing with a steel needle and acoustic soundbox.
