I'm sure it would work with a bit of trial and error to get the dimensions right, but then again I've never seen it used comercialy with any O~ring application I've seen...

Just has to be wide enough for the O ring to fit in, you will probably want to go deeper because there will not be as much room for the O-ring to squish. And it can certainly hit the sides of the channels. All the cars I have worked on that used O rings for the water pumps and thermostats all hade the O ring squish against the sides of both walls. Remember this is a PC not anything high pressure. You don't have to be perfect with it.
