Overloading an aircraft increases the takeoff distance and reduces the rate of climb. That will reduce safety any way you look at it. Will the plane do it? Almost certainly. Can you do it legally? Nope. Personally, I would try to find a way to take the plane up for about 2.5 hours a day or so before this trip and fly the gas off.
