If it's a Ball shifter I would think probably not since the plunger inside the shifting shaft would likely be too big to accommodate 3/8" Hex. Can't speak to the possibility of doing it with a dog gear shifter though.
IMO It would probably be easier to adapt a 3/8" hex onto the output end of a Vex gearbox than it would be to make a custom shifter for it. Not sure if that helps for your specific situation though.

Should have made that clear. I'm referring to the dog shifter rods, and in my newest CAD project the usage of 32dp gears from WCP and the 20dp 14t gear from VexPro requires the use of 3/8" hex. Perhaps your idea of a 3/8" hex adapter might work, except that I'm a bit concerned with how much space I have for it.
