Is it possible for me to change the impact from rebellious and realm duress trait? Can I simply delete them?

I don't know much about modding, but intuitively it seems that the easiest way to neutralize impact of listed traits might be to lower significantly MTTH-s (and maybe change some conditions) of events that remove those traits.
 
The easiest way to disable those events is to go to C:\....\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings\db\events.txt and put a # before the line below

...
Of course then all the events in that file will be disabled, most of them are 'bad' events, but it also contains the emperor-trait event.

You can also go into that specific event file and delete or comment out (putting a # before each line) the specific events. But the events cover 100s of lines so that won't be easy.

How about renaming that one file to something else (as a backup), and just copy-pasting the wanted events out of there to a new realm_disruption_events.txt?

In theory that wouldn't be hard. It would certainly be easier then commenting out every line of every event you don't want.

In practice the events can be hundreds of lines long, and it's not always easy to see where one ends and the next begins. Moreover unless you're used to reading them they can be very confusing, especially events that have very sophisticated triggers.
