I think the safe presumption is that steel casings--whether Boxer
or Berdan primed--should be considered and treated like Berdan
primed casings or aluminum casings: intended for single use only.
Most steel cased ammo is priced like aluminum cased CCI Blazer,
below the price for Boxer primed brass cased ammo.
Most reloading equipment is designed and intended by the
manufacturer for Boxer primed brass cartridge casings.

Why should I bother, reducing the diameter of the pin, when the simplest solution is dump the cases? The flash hole discrepency is enough to make me wary of those cases.

Not all wolf 223 is boxer primed. I reload the stuff that is boxer primed. It loads fine. I started doing it just to see for myself if it was possible, and kept doing it because it was a very available source of casings i didn't care if i lost.
chamfer the inside of the case mouth or you'll shave bullets. GL and pm me with any specific questions.

When I shoot my Mauser C96 Broomhandle I try to recover all
my brass for reloading.
There is a point in time searching the grass at the range for brass
that you have to decide if finding the last few casings is worth
the additional time. I admit that if I was searching for steel cases
to reload it would be easier to call it quits after recovering a little
over half.

possible yes
your time could be better spent (on most anything else) like scroungeing up real brass cases.
I stick some zip loc bags under the seat of my truck and sort by caliber at the range. A few handfulls of brass that came from somebody elses stash every time you go to the range can add up fast with a caliber like 45 that is good for lots of loadings.
I will grab calibers that I don't reload and use them to trade
