I think you could. the question is "is it it worth it?". the Station was built on the ground mostly in the 90s using 80s technology. I would think there are a lot of design decisions driven by 1980s technology that they are stuck with today. and its non-trivial to move an existing station away from that.
Also I don't think NASA really wants to keep going with a Space Station. from my understanding with the Axiom Commercial Space Station and the Orbital Reef station , NASA is happy to buy services on those stations rather than operate their own. like they are doing with Commercial Crew and cargo. Plus with Lunar Gateway and a possible Mars gateway station. I would imagine that there is a lot of know how and talent on the ISS engineering and operations teams that NASA would like to put to work on the moon and mars projects under Artemis.
