Anything is possible in Emacs :) -- just look at org-mode! This sounds like a use for a keyboard macro to me... Position point on line 1 of the table C-x ( C-s SPC C-s RET | C-a C-n C-x e and repeat 'e' for every line in the table then C-p C-c C-c to realign. If you do this a lot you can save the macro or build a lisp function that does it - repeating for the entire table.
