No physical impossibility.
Just a matter of increasing substantially the aspect ratio and improving the quality of the wet surface (no protruding rivet).
Would this theoretical aircraft have anywhere near the kg to m2 wing area ratio of this 250 kg bomb ? There are also plenty of rivets, and flanges adorning this bomb.
