Derailleur hangers are threaded M10 x 1. Quick release rear axles are typically this same thread, but usually have only about 4mm protruding past the lock nut. Most (but not all) solid axles are 3/8" x 26tpi. This is close enough to thread into an M10 x 1, but as I said before, the fit will be sloppy. I would be concerned about damage to the hole and threads twisting around on there with all that play.
