I wouldn't recommend it. Why? Three reasons:
A. Modern Radial Electrolytic are inexpensive, so I'm not sure how much you'd save by doing this once you took the time to reform the caps and perhaps later had to go back and troubleshoot caps.
B. Modern Electrolytic caps have better electrical characteristics.
D. Unless you are very sure that the reforming process has truly set your cap back "to zero" to I'd trade paying for few caps over having to re-cap an amp earlier than usual. Or if you build it for someone else having to deal with a reliability issue.
That's just an opinion!
