I would not want to find out. Especially not on a unicycle yeeesh.
If you want shorter cranks you might reach out to
Lennard Ziin, he and his company does do custom cranks and I bet you could get them in ISIS either through him or Joseph Kuosac (who I think he might use for some of his stuff anyway). I also see that Kris Holm does short cranks as well even has a 110mm length and they look like really nice cranks and some neat Unis which I kinda want.
In terms of tapping if you need new threads typically that is done through Helicoil. I am pretty sure I saw this above but to reiterate you need material to create threads so the Helicoil insert provides that when you have trashed yours (which I did recently on a NDS arm which is being replaced under warranty)
