Maybe. If you make an archival copy first, it won't hurt to try. But I wouldn't give much for your chances. The conventional wisdom is never to skip a major version. Each of the zillions of times this sort of question has come up, the recommendation has been to upgrade first to the latest 2.x.x version, then the latest 3.x.x version, then to 4.x. After each upgrade, you should open the file and click Actions » Check and Repair » All Transactions. By the way, 4.x is no longer current; we're now in 5.x.
