Early withdrawals on 401k accounts are subject to a ten percent penalty in most cases, so no. The flowchart says make the minimum debt payments as part of step 0, then get the 401k match (step 2), then pay off high interest debt (step 3) before going back to 401k (step 5). There are other steps, but in this case those are the relevant ones.
