Hmm... well I doubt parachutes are any harder than landing a rocket on a barge, so I'm sure this could be done. Sounds like one possible path. The stage may sustain some damage on landing but it would allow at least some of its more costly parts (engines, electronics) to be re-used and the rest of the material to be recycled.
