While I think Gollum might have been able to pull something like that off in another place, Moria just seems to vast and the craftsmanship too superior (I Imagine something akin to the masonry of the Incas) for this to be an actual possibility.
Even if he could, the odds of falling to his death was probably to great for him to try the venture.
Also
Legate has a fair point.

So if he could have used any of the shafts, he would have done so before. No, this won't hold.
