That would require a lot of fabrication on the intake and exhaust manifold.
Also it would compress the exhaust gas on the dead cylinders compression phase, which would entirely wipe out any possible gains.
So much easier to adjust the rocker arms to not open the valves at all, or leave one valve stuck open or even removed.
