This begs the question, if Harry figure out the secret of the mirror, would he be able to construct an Occlumency proxy personality who didn't want the stone?

Of course there is no answer to this question except "Whatever the author decides."

The problem with Occlumency proxy personalities is that you have to be very careful, otherwise you're subject to Amnesiac Dissonance. The smarter the proxy personality, the worse a problem this is.
