Should I use GPIO 40 pin header instead of USB?

I have a problem with bumping the usb cable that powers my RPI3B+ and it wiggles out and kills power. I was curious if I could cut off the USB end, solder those two wires to female GPOI connectors and the connect them to 5V and GND on the 40 pin connector(pin 4 and 6) to power the PI?
