Surely so. Try it. Seems like it’d be a pain in the ass with all those spines. But doable.
Worst goes to worst you gotta chuck the scion and cut the root stock back a little if it fails.
Btw I think you meant you want the San Pedro as the root stock, and the pokey boy as the scion.

Yes this will work. I’ve not done it myself but have seen pictures of feet successfully grafted monkey tail to SP. A bit Frankenstein but growing well for sure

Of course

I have less experience with those than micrografting, but you should plump up the san pedro with a good watering with fertilizer a few days before.

Is your San Pedro rooted? I have to imagine, it’s got a much more robust root structure than the spiny ones. Especially considering those are probably multiple small plants, in that container. The point of a rootstock is to pump energy into something that doesn’t have the rhizomatic fortitude to do it by itself.
Unless you’ve got something specific in mind, or you’re just going for aesthetics, it’s probably going to make it grow slower 🤷
