I tried that. The problem is, that the Progress is 7 tons. The Shuttles is about 110 tons. The dV of a Progress, even fueled at 100%, is insufficient to deorbit the Shuttle.
I loaded a Star48 SRM in STS132. This thing had enough power to deorbit the Shuttle, it worked. And I've read that some Shuttle satellite deployement missions carried this kind of engines (to send the sat on the wanted orbit).
