Guess at what you want: maybe, but not right away. The \luatry
would have to save quite a bit of state information for this
to be useful, which is not feasible on short notice (imagine
having to save some 400+ globals and hooking into a few dozen
data structure operations)

If you want to change the sources yourself, then yes. Otherwise
no. If luatex were to allow this without recompile, nobody could
rely on a stable platform for interchange of documents.
