I'm currently destroying sensors in cruel and inhuman attempts to achieve exactly that. 

The "witches brew" is a hot solvent that flushes out the microlenses and the RGB color filters. Then there's the task of resealing the chip...

I'm also tinkering with using a high power UV light source (built for curing UV sensitive adhesives) to fade the filters, hopefully without turning the microlenses opaque.
