Would be tough. The Secret Service detail is mandated by an actual law authorized by Congress. Unless a federal court (and eventually SCOTUS) rules that law invalid for some reason, or unless Congress acts to change the provisions of the law, a judge does not have the authority simply to remove the SS detail.
