It should be possible. You can use wget to crawl your Wordpress site and save it all to html files, which you can then copy/ftp to your static site. I've done this with Drupal. Drupal 6 was at EOL and not getting security fixes. The site was fairly large and had been built over a period of years, but was no longer being updated. We wanted to keep it online, but did not want to take on a project to migrate it to the next major release of Drupal and then get on that update treadmill.

I forget the exact set of wget options but you can find blog posts about how to do this.

I’ve done it too, but wget is pretty “dumb” and will try to save files as main.js?v=1.2.3. Also wget doesn’t support everything so you have to carry over some files manually.
