Replace Alembic Hair Cache follicles with mesh?

I have imported some alembic hair as fur for a creature and was thinking on how to soften up the fur. An idea came to me that I wanted to discuss on the forums, is there a way to swap out the hair follicles from the alembic hair import with tiny meshes?

I created a tiny plane asset with a very soft-edged material that I was hoping that I could swap out for the follicles, is there any way that this could be done?
