Nanoha Force and Negima, as people have stated. Though both have a lot of girls, males have the lead role. Though Nanoha Force would be closer, since it actually follows the mahou shojou tropes a bit more closely, with the transformation into a battle outfit. Also, generally speaking, the Nanoha universe is fairly unique among anime series in general, for the world it creates and how it handles the cast of characters. Partly because both guys and girls can use magic.

Kore wa is more like a parody and comedy, with the masou shojo stuff played mainly for laughs.

But if you're asking how it would it work, if we were to look at it strictly... I'm presuming you'd mean we have a team of, say, 5 guys that transform into outfits and wield wands or something, and wind up special attacks. Perhaps with the power of heart.

As far as I know, there isn't really anything exactly like this. The live action Kamen Rider genre has guys transforming and using special attacks, but no power of heart. Instead, it's mainly the power of courage. Most sentai in general (of which we get power rangers from over here), are like this. But it's mostly all live action, and not animated.

Mainly because guys aren't interested in seeing a team of guys in frilly outfits fighting with the power of heart.
