Dark Crystals Creating Negative Stat Items?

With this in mind, could items that start with 0 stats (Ex. INT on an archer overall) go into the negatives as well?

Im gonna try making some items right now and seeing if I can get negative stats, lol.

Edit:

 Spoiler

Brb, 100% Overall Dex scrolls.

Edit again: Sorry, proof says otherwise:

now time to npc these overalls. Keep in mind that it WAS possible, because it's ALWAYS possible for the natural deviation of the equipment from the beginning to vary. My overall here had 67, 2 above average (meaning with the DC removal in mind, it would've been 4 above average, haha). Anyways, time to npc these overalls.

its possible it only took away the exact amount thats on it normally.

Lets say the DC removed 2 dex, yet the natural =/- of maker making was going to add 1 DEX. It even could have taken just 1 DEX away and thats that.
