Considering that earthquakes can happen many miles below the surface and there are many thousands of earthquake faults and it impossible to know where the exact stress point is, I would guess that it would not be economically feasible to do so. Additionally, considering we have the force of an entire plate pushing against the resistance point, unless we are willing to detonate nuclear warheads to relieve the stress, I don't think that we would accomplish much. And of course, the nuclear explosion would cause enough damage in its own right. Nah, let's let mother nature handle this one...
