You may not be able to alter it in the hardware, but you sure can alter
the software that queries the ID and would transmit it to a server. Same
thing goes for other unique hardware IDs. Focussing on actual cheat
detection and banning SteamIDs would be a more useful effort in my
opinion. (And fixing the hole that no-steam uses.)
