Yes.

Strong centers of gravity can rip a star apart. The strongest known centers of gravity are black holes, but other much more massive stars can destroy smaller stars if they get too close to one another. Humans do not currently have any technologies that can destroy a star (even excusing the problem of getting the device to the star in question).

Yes, if it is too close to a nearby black hole or supernova, or if many planetoids bombard that location.
