Stars fail when the elements in their cores stop releasing net energy when fused. This crossover occurs at iron. Adding more mass will just make it's death more violent.

Also the sun contains 99% of the mass of the solar system. The remaining 1% includes Jupiter. I'm not sure how much effect we can have when only leveraging 1% of 1% of the solar systems mass.

I also wonder how one removes mass from the sun. Its the biggest gravity well in the solar system and our biggest power source is the sun itself.

Star lifting seems plausible.

Transform the mass into energy, and radiate it.
