I believe not, iircc the expansion is a constant (G). In my very un-qualified opinion, removing mass to decrease gravity until the constant is stronger would be plausible... but what would you have left to stand on?

  1. Expansion is not constant. It has changed a lot between the big bang and now.
  2. Expansion depends on the amount of space there is, more space equals more expansion
  3. This is called the big rip. I'm not certain what the current state of research is regarding that. But it won't happen for many billions of years.

Ask yes thinking about it the constant I'm thinking of was specifically for gravity between two masses g(mm/r²)? Idk it's been a long time lol

The expansion speed is also constant across the space dimensions. Which is a bit strange, because that breaks the speed of light limit.
