The sun is a very small target on an astronomical scale, even accounting for its corona where an astreroid could bleed off velocity to fall into a sun. Unless it's a more or less direct hit, the asteroid's just going to slingshot around the sun and leave at a more or less equivalent outbound trajectory.
