As a last ditch effort, sure, it might help. But an ordinary
oil film won't allow wear until the oil disappears.
Typically, an oilite bearing will have a piece of oil soaked
felt touching the bearing to act as a reservoir.

So would it be worthwhile trying to lube these fans with graphite
rather than any kind of oil?
