I've heard of people buying 1inch threadless forks with steel steerers and getting them cut and threaded for threaded with no problems. I'm wondering if it would be safe/possible to do the same with a fork using an aluminum steerer. Thanks

Not something that I would do, nor would I seek the advise here about issue that involve my safety. If you find a local frame builder, or some who really knows what they are doing, ask them.
