Ryan, It's not possible out of the box, no. If your docs with abc* keywords have all fields stored, you could get them from the index, modify them in memory to remove abc*, and send them back to Solr for indexing. It's still reindexing, but only of those particular documents and without having to go to the original document source. But it does require all fields to be stored, so you can get and modify their values in your custom app.
