While getting a rocket or probe to hit the sun smack in the middle sounds hard to do, you can get obliterated by it with much less delta-v.

You need to get to the Earth's escape velocity and just cleverly align the angle of escape so that you get an eccentric enough heliocentric orbit that you'd end up some 6 million kms close to the sun. Anything closer than that is literally overkill.
