Probably not because EUV gets absorbed incredibly quickly by anything other than vacuum. This is why it is created in low density gas, thin liquid or solid samples (high harmonic generation) or electron clouds (free electron laser).
I wondered this too - why are you being downvoted for asking?

All the difficulty to create that laser it seems fair enough to ask!
