No, you can't lump the $K$ matrix: that would not be a consistent approximation to the second-order differential operator it is supposed to represent.
But if you're trying to be a bit more formal, just write out what that lumped mass matrix would actually be: Most rows of the matrix (corresponding to nodes not next to the boundary) would simply add up to ...
