Removing already polished stones from an existing monument in Preseli, you mean? Anythings possible. I'm sure the spotted dolerite looks pretty special when polished.

Theres evidence the Bluestones were worked at Stonehenge though isn't there?

Wouldn't necessarily have been polished in the presellis could have been polished when they arrived assuming they knew what they would look like . I have a small polished piece of Bluestone and it is impressive ; a 4 ton stone polished up would indeed be stunning !
