Morrow Audio cables, at least the early ones (I don't know about current versions), used the same thin solid core wire for both ICs and speaker cables, just a few more strands for the speaker cables. I'm still using them in both roles and like them a lot. Many speaker cable users employ quite thin wires very successfully.
Yes it can be done, but is will sound terrible. Each strand or wire should match and that is not the way IC's are made. But in honesty the signal can be sent across most conductive material. You have only to lose and nothing to gain.

Yes that is true but usually many wires. My Nordost frey speaker cables use 28 24 gauge wires where the ics use 6 26 gauge wires. Capacitance and inductance is quite different too.
The 47 Labs OTA cable kit uses 26 gauge solid core copper wire, one for the positive and one for the negative. I never encountered a problem with these cables.
I think it just may come down to the IC you want to convert. However, it can be done and successfully.
