In a properly manufactured CD, this shouldn't be possible. Of course,

As a side note to this, be advised that CD-R media is much more fragile
than a regular pressed CD. The top layer of a CD-R disk is equivalent to
the middle layer of a pressed CD, so if you damage the top of a CD-R
*at all*, you will probably have a coaster. This is why a lot of people
are afraid to use some types of markers to label recordables.
