I can’t believe I’ve never thought of that... wow, what a ‘blast’!
Wouldn’t it cause the core to collapse inwards though, as it would basically provide a “safety valve”-type release (though I presume if you were to place it on the edge of the fusing core, it would basically replace a patch of pre-existing surface area at the expense of convection and radiation pressure above taking a nose-dive).
