In theory yes, but in practice it appears to be a PITA to do. Much easier to get a new door handle. Underneath the button is an even smaller surface mount switch, around 5mm square, so you'd first have to remove the handle from the car, then dismantle the handle to get at both sides of the PCB holding the switch, replace it with a new switch (assuming you can find an exact match on the likes of eBay) and then put it all back together again. I did come across a video of someone who attempted to do it but gave up. It's worth watching it just to see the switch that needs replaced:
