I'm sure that if you have properly-sized punches, you can do it. It
sounds like a production thing, though, that would take a few trials

Shouldn't be a big deal. Holes come out pretty much to the punch size,
so likely just need a custom decimal size punch, I'd think.
Pretty sure I watched a YouTube video of a punch press that could
produce a bit of an extrusion, offering more material for threading.
