It's not a practical possibility. The black hole wouldn't last long and would be too small to actually absorb anything. It's the equivalent of asking if a nuke would set the atmosphere on fire.

Even a "large"ish primordial black hole would probably just pass straight through the Earth without anyone noticing.

Strange matter on the other hand...

Remember that Strange matter is only dangerous assuming a specific range of values for its surface tension, otherwise it's harmless and doesn't catalyze the conversion of normal matter into Strange matter.

What even is the smallest primordial black hole possible to still exist here 14B years later?
