It wouldn't shift correct initially, but you could dial it in to get some kind of shifting. If you're familiar with it, probably not the issue, but the only one I can think of beyond dirt/use that might be doing that kind of damage to the cable. Radius at the hub cassette joint is bigger than Shimano STI shifters with the side entry, where cable fraying can be an issue.
