Yes, but by repeatedly exploding very small charges at a distance of
several tens of metres from a reinforced shield so that only a thin
layer would be destroyed each time (the shield would have had to be
continuously replenished).
I imagine that a thin steel plate in the immediate vicinity of a
sizeable explosion is a different matter altogether!
But hey, I'm not a physicist so perhaps Ernie should chime in with an
expert opinion...
