The amount of rock in a volcano is huge. It would take an enormous about of force to blast it away. Though, we could theoretically destroy a mountain. with a series of strategically placed blasts as rock blasting is commonly used in mining and road construction.

Ultimately, though, there is no reason for us to blow up a volcano. At best it would be an enormous waste of time and money. It would do nothing to stop eruptions as the ultimate source lies deep within the earth. In fact, removing the mountain could potentially depressurize the magma chamber and trigger an eruption.
