Not likely considering the density of Kimimaro's bones. In addition to being stronger than tempered steel and sharp enough to cut shuriken in half, he was able to survive Gaara's sand burial-which has enough pressure to liquefy a normal person-by creating a layer of bone under his skin. And in version two he survived being buried what was said to be 200 meters underground and he shouldn't have been able to lift a finger. As powerful as Lee is when using the lotus, the problem with it is that his muscles begin to tear themselves apart and i doubt that he would be able to seriously defeat Kimimaro before that happened, since we know that if anyone can endure for the time it takes him to complete it will most likely gain the upper hand once he comes out of it.

In my opinion, it's more like Kimimaro wouldn't be able to catch Lee and Lee would have to continuously try to hammer him with multiple fast, hard strikes from different angles. I truly believe that Kimimaro's fighting style was designed to be the perfect antithesis of Lee's: like Tayuya said it's like he was born to fight Lee. But I wonder if Kimimaro made his bone as hard as it gets and used his larch dance, would Lee be able to break it?
