This is the problem with most non-engineers. They just to solutions without fist fulling sting the problem. Can you state the problem to be solved. Are we trying to improve surface finish? What is the tool being used
If this is an additive machine like a 3D printer then reversing the tool path will break either the machine or the part for certain on every job. Even in the case of a 2.5 axis job with one end mill that never changes you would not crash not doing something like boring a hole with an end mill in reverse seems like it can't possibly be what you want as the end mil would mostly my cutting air far from the surface of the part. This is why it is best to first state the over all objective. Then later you can test if your proposed solution addresses the objective.
