I've played with some Nellie R. Stevens Holly which is fairly similar.
The wood of Nellie R. is extremely brittle. If you can get one with a large and interesting trunk it can make a nice bonsai. I was able to root prune and top prune it heavily and it never lost a beat.
I wouldn't mess with a small one. But if you find a really old one I would definitely work on it.
