Was it possible for a minor to inherit the title?
Yes, one example is the current Lensgreve Wedell, who was only 6 when he inherited the title.
Speaking of Lensgreve Wedell, did his father inherit any Kraj-Juel-Vind-Frijs title when he took over Frijsenborg? Perhaps not, as it would be through the female line. If so, he could have been a double lensgreve
Are there any lensgrever left in Denmark?
There are around 10 Lensgrever left in Denmark who follow the old rules. However, a handful of other families also have the primogeniture title of Lensgreve and will continue to have it - because they have long ago been given permission to use the title even though it's not in accordance with the traditional rules. It's rather difficult to explain, so this is just the short answer
