this is interesting gaara said he crushes all the minerals in the earth into sand but he couldn't crush kimimaro even a tsunami of sand couldn't get the job done, i think it all depends on weather you think guy can break kimimaro's bones (he can control their density so they can become as hard as he wants.) hitting kimimaro is risky since he's a taijutsu master and can sprout bones from any part of his body at any time, infact he can make a layer of bone beneath his skin protecting him from attacks as deadly as imperial sand coffin. IMO if guys attack couldn't break kisame's bones then i dont see how they'll break kimmimaro's bones i dont even know how guy can make him bleed without breaking his legs. guy cannot break kimimaro's bones and fighting a guy who can sprout bones from anywhere on is body or the ground in close combat is suicide.
if kisame took morning peacock and hirudora and was still alive then someone as durable as kimimaro who was revered by oro for having what oro called the greatest taijutsu ability definitely can, even against a tsunami of sand and all of gaaras crushing techs that make peoples bodies implode he only died because of his sickness gaara couldn't actually kill him. or we could just use the databook but untill a fourth one comes out i don't think they are really relevant.
kimimaro high diff. (guy cant escape dance of the seedling fern unless he can fly)
