They've already been tried and failed horribly. There was no good way to secure them properly from the oil pressure. The BLE lash adjusters seem to be a much better idea:
BLE Solid Lifter Kit Chevy Cobalt 05-UP 2.2L ECOTEC
No, if your machinist were to disassemble the factory lash adjuster, then weld on some material on the bottom half or fab a new bottom half in a different height, that would probably work out well. The other thought, was finding larger diameter follower bearings to make up for the smaller base circle. I looked extensively for such bearings without luck, but that doesn't mean they are not out there or that they couldn't be fabricated as well.

I wish i woukd have known about the ble adj before I bought bates solids that have to be machined for lash. If we can't get the oem ones to work maybe ill opt for those so no machining will be needed and will have an adjustment for lash further down the road
