Just because something can be done, doesn't mean it makes sense. If you go to a shop to have these cut and threaded, especially for a small trim cut of 2mm or so, I expect that the labor charge will be fairly close to the price of new plain gauge spokes, and maybe about 1/2 the price of butted spokes.
So given that the savings isn't all that much, doesn't make more sense to start fresh?
Of course the answer would be different if you owned a threading machine, or were a member of a co-op with one, so the only cost of cutting would be your time.
