Nope. The randomness of quantum mechanics cannot be erased with more detailed knowledge-- ascribing any number of "hidden" properties to particles to explain their quantum behavior produces mathematical inconsistencies. See:

Actually technically Bells Theorem says you can’t have hidden variables if you want to retain _locality_. If you allow nonlocality Bells Theorem still allows hidden variables.

It can if the properties are non-local
