Personally, I wouldn't do it even though I marginally prefer the sound and feel of the 6-screw bridge - I just don't see the point in causing potential trouble for the sake of a relatively small change. Unless you touch up the finish you will see the filled holes too.

Somehow I think the 2 point trems have more of a 'spongy' feel about them and the 6 point, if set-up correctly somehow more responsive and positive - Interesting that 2 big idols, Jeff Beck and hank Marvin, who both use the trem a lot differ on which they prefer
Agree with @ICBM about re-converting - I can understand the change to a Callaham bridge, but I'd be tempt to simply exchange the components but keep to a 2 point - less hassle
Go for the 6 screw callaham, theyre great

I’m not a fan of the two post trem - too spongey and my picking technique causes them to chirp (fractionally detune and return to pitch each time a string is plucked - nice if you’re Jeff Beck, shit if you are trying to play power chords or an arpeggio cleanly). I also can’t stand the cack Fender system for removing slack from the arm - a silly spring that 1) falls out and 2) doesn’t work.
Id put it back to the six screw - it’s not that hard. I’ve done it with a Floyd equipped Strat, a Fender two post and even a Kahler - each time, yes you need to accurately drill but take your time and it’s definitely do-able.
