Thor isn't a title, it isn't a rank, or description, it's a name. Beta Ray Bill didn't go around calling himself Thor. In the What If... way back when, Jane Foster called herself Thordis. So no, Thor is Thor, shall always be Thor.

TBH, that's another thing so few writers seem to understand, what it takes and what it means to be worthy of Mjolnir. In the late 60's, just after Mangog, Thor explained some of it to some hippies and his first sentence is along the lines of 'Being pure of heart or true of purpose is not it, nor enough'

I think I was in college before I read a story that had Barry Allen in it, I honestly liked Bucky as Cap for a while. I though Miles was interesting as Spiderman. But you change Thor like that and I say to thee nay!

Jane Foster is not the first non-Thor person to take up Mjolnir AND the title of Thor. Among some more minor examples, one major one is Erik Masterson, who's been using his own separate alias for a while (Thunderstrike), but started off as someone other than Thor Odinson who took up the title of Thor. He was Thor for a few years, the same way Jane Foster is now.
