No, you can't , it will create a lot of chaos , better is to rewrite from scratch in dot net core.

In your previous question , i already stated
A web Application returns Html (something to be displayed on screen, here aspx) but An API just exposes data.

If you have a web app built with n-tier architecture then creating API for it is a 10 minute thing , just reference your business logic in web API and return data as per the requrirement, returning data doesn't mean you can't perform CRUD , it means if it returns something then it reutuns data only.
example
public HttpResponseMessage Get()
      {
          try
          {

              var data = EmployeeBL.GetAll(); // get employee in BLL
              if (data != null)
              {
                  return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, data);
              }
              return Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, "No result found");
          }
          catch
          {
              return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError);
          }
      }
