NIP-05 is not verification. it's an identifier. please stop referring to it as verification. read the spec. the spec mentions verification zero times.

No, because you don't have the corresponding nsec.

Also it's NIP-19, NIP-05 is for the email-like identifiers. See: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/19.md

Can nsecs be created using npubkeys?

No. It's a one-way operation (cryptographic function).

Can you create an nsec from the npubkey created from hex?
