You could probably tweak the code a bit and compile it that it will open it, but you can't be sure that something else isn't going to cause an issue.

More recent Bitcoin Core switched from Berkeley DB 4.8 to SQLite as wallet.dat database, so simple tweak won't do the job.

Forgot about that, so a fine a major rewrite will do that job :-)

Goes back to the point that I make about a lot of things here, just because you can does not mean you should. Add to that just because it's possible does not mean you can.

And in the end it's probably pointless.
