No, 2 is not OK!! The placement of the adverb matters.
4 is not incorrect, but it's not a pattern that's used much.
1. It hardly rained last summer.
2. Hardly did it rain last summer.
(Is #2 OK?)
3. Even if the sun were to rise in the west, I would not change my mind.
4.Were the sun to rise in the west, I would not change my mind.
(Is #4 OK?)
