Can my gtx 1030 work inside my 3010 Optiplex 3010 sff?

If it's really the SFF, no. The DT can sometimes accommodate a half height/mini card. Best bet for this is MT.

Its a low-profile, one slot, half-height card

True SFF aren't even half height. Additionally the PCI-e slot is (if present) right against the case/power supply, an issue commonly shared with their DT brethren.

But would it have enough wattage?

Probably not, even in spite of a 75W (or less) draw. As far as gaming is concerned about the only thing SFF are useful for is mining the CPU for another build properly spec'ed for (cheap) and available for that aspect as an upgrade. This path will lead to frustration in that form factor.

You could look at the possibility of open chassis, modified "box" build....this is assuming the mobo will see the GPU. If it's all you have and got time it likely won't hurt to try if you are careful.
