Given the broad paintbrush used to apply ITAR, I do not suspect that there are provisions which could be interpreted which would allow "deactivated" or modified product from being exported. Such provisions would have to be extremely carefully worded to prevent the exportation of restricted items piecemeal. Allowing modified items to be exported would open the door for exportation of items that are superficially exported. It would be incongruent for ITAR to be so broadly applied but contain carefully designed provisions to allow the exportation of modified items.
