Headtube Enlarger?

I know there are a couple of different solutions out there for folks that was to place a straight steerer fork in a tapered headtube, but what about the opposite?

Specifically, I have a tapered headtube on my road frame from 1-1/8 to 1-1/4, but would like to ideally fit a tapered 1-1/8 to 1.5 steerer fork. Is it possible? The fork crown itself would most likely fit, but the headset race doesn't but maybe there is some adapter or something that could be done?

The variety of 1-1/8 to 1.5 forks on the market is much wider than the other size options, especially if looking for carbon disc alternatives for road frames.

Thanks!
