I suppose anything is possible with enough time and effort, but I
strongly recommend against it.

CentOS is a server OS and as such should be used in a manner that
provides maximum reliability. An upgrade in general introduces avoidable
risk. An upgrade from 6 to 7 would induce far more risk than usual.

Much safe to setup centos 7 fresh and migrate services over in a
controlled fashion.
