If you're really hell-bent on burning them up, I suppose you could aim them at some other star.
Or chuck them into an active volcano.
I mean, the idea was to try to fulfill both the "fire them into the Sun" and "minimize βV" requirements at the same time, but sure, that's an option too.
Eh, just burn them in the volcano. The requirements are easier, and the Earth will eventually get burned up by the Sun anyway.
