3/4" quill in 1" steerer

Is it kosher to use a 3/4" quill stem (from a BMX bike) in a 1" steerer? Basically, the stem has a 21.15mm outer diameter, while the steerer tube has a 22.2mm inner diameter.

Nope. But the good news is that the "standard" size stem (22.2mm) is so common they often drop from the sky, from trees, etc. Heads up-
