I can't see any reason why not. Woodrow suggests that, if moving the gear round to a less worn part, lapping the worm and wheel together with fine grinding paste is the way to go. i can't see why such a technique wouldn't work for a replacement wheel.
It is superfluous of me to mention that, once the worm and wheel have been lapped it is imperative to make sure that the parts are scrupulously clean before reassembling, adjusting and filling with oil. Don't do what I appear to have done and overfill the box!
