Could a remington Rolling Block in 32 Rim Fire...
Be converted to 32-20 or is that idea way too crazy?

Besides the converting the breech block from rimfire to center fire, the groove diameter of the barrel might affect accuracy with modern 32-20 ammo.
I believe the old .32 rimfire ammo was outside lubed, with heal type bullets. Slug the barrel to find the groove diameter. If it runs larger then .311, you might have problems. Modern 32-20 ammo runs around .308 diameter.
Unless you have the funds and skill and equipment to do the work yourself? It doesn't seem practical, IMHO.0 -
Here's one on the auction side that's nicely done, but note it's the strong No. 2 Model:

There are many more .32 rimfire No. 4 models extant, and .32-20 is way too hot for the little No. 4 action:

If the barrel is in excellent condition and correct groove diameter, it would make a nice little .32 S&W Long. 0
