Yes, especially if it is chucked into a drill, along with some carb cleaner,
or use a pick to get at the orifice through the bolt hole in the top of the
EGR tube (that's where the EGR temp sensor sits in a California car.)

To replace the EGR/BPT line?  No, and you shouldn't have to replace it
unless you break it.
If it is really badly clogged up, you may have to remove the tube to mildly
drill out the orifice, which can be done in under an hour.
