Highly doubtful.

The steering is not independent of the direction of wheel speed. You can't make bi-directional steering corrections while maintaining wheel speed. Such actions are required for simultaneous 3DoF maneuvers.

[EDIT]

I see GeeTwo said much the same thing in the preceding post.

But I also see there is still much confusion about exactly what the OP has proposed:

When the wheel is powered and the o axle is allowed to freely rotate, the wheel would turn in a circle, and could end up pointing in a direction you want it to.
... so a clarification by the OP would be much appreciated.
