Chure, you could have agunsmith do it if you can find one who has the reamers, or you can buy or ren the reamers and o it yourself,  but seems simpler to just sell it on ebay and buy a new one on ebay for about the same cost.

It would be better to get a new barrel. The 22LR does not have a .223 or .224 diameter like the hornet. Therefore you may have to do both the chamber and the barrel.
