Yes, I've seen it done successfully before, and can not see why anyone couldn't do it. Just MAKE SURE you use a proper tap set with coarse threading, and MAKE SURE you have an exact matching bolt to thread through. Chances are, you won't find one short enough off the shelf, but nothing should stop you from cutting/grinding it down to the proper length. Don't let it extend more than 0.5mm in to the magwell once tightened down.

It's possible, but what are the chances of you getting a perfectly round surface across the top of the chamber? I hope you have a really good eye and very precise hands.
You also have to add material to the bottom of the chamber to lock the hop up chamber in place.
