Not possible. Because the inside pressure is withstanding with all studs.
If you reduce the studs, the complete load will act on two studs and it will fail.

You can treat it as an Section VIII Appendix II Flange. Hopefully the two stud bolts that you cannot insert, are 180° apart.

We have the following scenario in one of our projects . Due to
inadequate space availability caused by the valve body studs, the
piping flange studs could not be inserted into the flange joint.. The
case in question is a 10" , 900# Flange which carries 16 no.s studs.
It is not possible to insert 2no.s stud bolts in the flange joint.
Does B16.5 mention anything about the safety / operability / validity
of a flange joint which has two no.s stud bolts less in a 16 stud
flange joint ?
