I wouldn''t think so, because the pin would then be somewhat looser fitting than the other side, and , at least in theory, the sear, on that side would not square up with the interfacing surface of the hammer.
Someone mentioned deforming the pin slightly, making it slightly out-of-round.
That may sound somewhat like a "shade tree" fix, but I think, properly done, might be ok. As John mentioned, most 'pinned' British boxlocks used a tapered pin, and, while I'm comfortable in saying I do not believe Parker ever employed this technique, it would have been preferable to the way it was done.
Generally, I think the sear spring exerts sufficient pressure to keep the pin centered, but, Russ's gun might suggest otherwise.
I've never liked the idea of using thread locking glues on good guns.
