almost certainly not with what you have on hand

Pic related is just one example of the thousands of low-Iq regulators from dozens of manufacturers, with many options as to input and output voltage ranges, precision, and cost. the example is $0.38/1 from digi-key, you should be able to find similar suitable regulators for 10 cents each in lots of 10 on alibay
