Dude, this is insane. I sincerely hope that you don't apply this logic in public shooting ranges. You asked for citation, got it, and choose to ignore it.
What you're saying is equivalent that you could go on a car that weighs 5.65 tons on a bridge that can carry only 5 tons, (given that for such bridges the both standard body and constructor explicitly says: "do not do that").
Is it possible? Of course. You even could reload your ammo with nitroglycerin and it still will fit into the rifle.
Yes, there could be some protection built into construction, but this risk worth it?
But that's a legal perspective.
From an engineering perspective, you can certainly shoot it.
With risks somewhere between "It will behave exactly like .223" and "It will explosively disassemble your gun."
But we're not talking about rocket science here.
Machining dimensions / tolerances + chamber / barrel design + round pressure = risk
All of which are variable enough in practice to make this a grey area.
