Sure

Exactly
There have been such SEs done in the past, and they work really well. Also You can try the sealed box method in store.

Basically, you return the box you bought in store after opening it and taking the product. Upon closing the now empty box you carefully seal it with same adhesives as the company.

Do you know for certain if Apple will not open the seals and check?

I never tried this method IRL however if it executed accordingly and seems brand new I don’t see why the vendors would ask questions. Returns happen all the time.
