I doubt you can do it. STEP is simple TXT stored file format. Geometry information - yes. Topology, features, model tree structure - no.
 
You can't. One of the benefits of neutral geometry file formats like STEP and IGES are to prevent reverse engineering and protect intellectual property (to a certain degree).
