Since Eknidu is an object and tracing can reproduce any object then a sufficiently empowered mage could trace Eknidu. But that mage would pay the full mana cost, whatever that cost happened to be. Same for Archer, he'd have to pay something like 50 times the normal cost of summoning a sword NP.

Unleashing Excalibur itself drains Acher's mana completely in a way that he disappears immediately. Not to mention that Broken Phantasm breaks the weapon instantly like a bomb without unleashing its power. And you're thinking of him use enkidu, UBW, Excali-beam PLUS broken phantasm? No overtime pay will cut that!
And not to mention Archer doesn't want Illya die...
Excalibur probably won't completely nuke Archer's mana. He has about as much mana as Saber and it takes up something like 2/3rd her total, so if he's on full it probably won't kill him. Also UBW takes up almost no mana in the scheme of things, Archer uses it when he's almost tapped out after his fight with Lancer and then he sticks around for two more days.
