    $\begingroup$ I find that chucking stars at other stars tends to work, although it's incredibly difficult for most civilizations. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 16, 2016 at 22:44

    $\begingroup$ Welcome to the site! Good first question. You are right that nukes wouldn't harm a star since they are essentially massive nukes themselves. If it were me, I'd create a wormhole between the target star and a far more massive star to deplete its fuel until it no longer had enough to sustain a nuclear reaction. But that's just me. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 16, 2016 at 22:58
