It’s possible. They will stack haphazardly because two pellets side by side is larger than the bore diameter of the 20 gauge.
00 doesn't fit into 20 ga shells very well. 9 pellets of #1 or17 or 20 pellets of #3 depending on wad. its been a while I think the last ones I loaded I used sg20 wad or mg20 wads
ballistic products has the load datas and everything else needed
I load #4 for my son to use on snakes and varmints. IIRC, a standard shell takes 15 pellets.
