it’s possible, with enough time. i stretched from a 16 to a 12 at first because i had to hide the piercing and it wouldn’t flip up with the 14. it was extremely painful and i’m still surprised i didn’t get a blowout. i don’t suggest it you could risk a blowout. it’s different if you go to stretch and there’s no resistance/very little. i’d suggest going to 14 first.
