It happened once to some Romanian player who scored like 0,5/9 in a tournament and failed to solve a very common endgame theme. His name is Alexandru Crisan.
Also Nigalidze saw his title stripped for cheating: https://en.chessbase.com/post/nigalidze-stripped-of-gm-title-receives-3-year-ban

Alexandru Crisan falsified reports of tournaments to get a nice 2635 rating, they used those tournaments to see if he was really that strenght or not.

So I think if you win your title cleanly you can perform like crap later on and still have it. 
Is it possible that a Grandmaster plays horrible chess and drops to very low ratings then can his title be taken away?
