If you don't mind losing their combat survivability in the meantime. And burning 5/3 N gems for the amulet.
Also, for a Pan (which has decent MR) it will take ages to finally fail the check.
If you're using CBM and the caster has any N paths (like your hypothetical Pan), it's better to just use Transformation (which *will* eliminate the upkeep.) Or, you can use the Life After Death/Ankh technique, if it's not considered an exploit in your games.
These all work on the same basic principle of substituting the base unit for a different unit type.
