It's possible with a small adjustable, but not something you want to do except when there was no alternative at all (on the road in Siberia, 100s of miles from the nearest spoke key). Pick up a spoke wrench, but be forewarned that wheel aligning is something of a skill vs. knowledge job, so review plenty of tutorials, and work slowly by small degrees lest you go from bad to worse.
