.grid-container {

So assign the headings to the first column.

div {
  outline: 1px solid grey;
  padding: 0 0.5em
}

.grid-container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
  gap: 0 1em;
  grid-auto-flow: column;
}

.h1,
.h2 {
  grid-column: 1;
}
<div class="grid-container">
  <div class="h1">header 1</div>
  <div class="h2">header 2</div>

  <div>b0</div>
  <div>b1</div>


  <div>c0</div>
  <div>c1</div>
</div>
<iframe name="sif2" sandbox="allow-forms allow-modals allow-scripts" frameborder="0"></iframe>

If you use the HTML structure that you have for the flex example then you can use grid, telling items which column they are to go into by selection using nth-child.

.grid {
  margin: 1rem;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 2fr 2fr 1fr;
  align-items: baseline;
}

.grid .col:nth-child(1) div {
  grid-column: 1 / 2;
}

.grid .col:nth-child(2) div {
  grid-column: 2 / 3;
}

.grid .col:nth-child(3) div {
  grid-column: 3 / 4;
}

body {
  background-color: aliceblue;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  text-align: center;
}
<div class="box ok">
  <div>Result wanted using grid</div>
  <div class="grid">
    <div class="col">
      <div>header 1</div>
      <div>header 2</div>
    </div>

    <div class="col">
      <div>b0</div>
      <div>b1</div>
    </div>

    <div class="col">
      <div>c0</div>
      <div>c1</div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
