Is it possible to spheroidize 1144 alloy steel?



 
Yes, 1144 can be spheroidized. But, if you are hoping that this will increase some formabililty parameter, you may be out of luck, as the sulfur inclusions will then be the limiting factor for formability.
 
As swall said, 1144 steel can be spheroidize annealed.
