[LOTR] Had Gandolf and Saruman worked together, would it have been possible to break Sauron's control of the One Ring?

Let's say that instead of going to Mount Doom, the fellowship agrees that it is a fantastic idea to just bring the ring to Saruman. Upon arriving, Saruman has Frodo place the ring in a specially prepared container that he and Gandolf worked together to create with the intention of insulating them from the ring while they work on a plan. The fellowship then aids the two wizards as they work together to find a way to  subjugate the ring so that they can use it without succumbing to it's control. Assume that Frodo is sufficiently monitored to prevent him from trying to take the ring as a result of the corruption he has already been subjected to. Is there any chance of the outcome being something other than the ring easily corrupting Saruman and Gandolf?

No there isn’t. That was why Gandalf and Elrond called together the council in the first place.  There was no power in Middle Earth that both had the power to overcome the ring and be trusted to actually help.  

Tom Bombadil has the power but not the interest.  Smaug had he been alive might have been tricked into melting the ring (by incinerating the unfortunate bearer) but was no guarantee of success.  The next most powerful being aside from Sauron himself was Galadriel who admitted that she would have fallen under its sway.   

That’s the insidious nature of the one ring; it twists your intentions to bad ends, it feeds your ego and will to dominate.  The power works faster the more powerful you personally are. Any attempts to uncouple Sauron’s essence from the ring would have met in failure and ruin.  Any being capable of such a feat would have nothing to fear from Sauron himself and the first age is a hard lesson on what happens when such beings strode Middle Earth.

Even sailing west with the ring would have ended In failure.  The gods would not let that viper into their house.

Remember that the wizards power wasn’t in raw might but in wisdom.  Originally they were beings not much different than what Sauron was but they willingly gave that up because the Valar learned that the people of Middle Earth already had the ability to save themselves, they just needed someone to show them the way.
