Stop it. You are hurting my brain.

Are you sure that's not the liquid helium? I know @TheUnknowable was eager to run tests on his drilling idea.

It would if you ran it through tubes, similar to a geothermal system.  That would require a material with a melting point above the temperature of the sun, but that's easy.  You'd also have to shed heat faster than the sun does naturally in that spot to cool it.

The problem with that idea is that the material you made the pipes out of would be a better heat dissipator than the helium it was being used to pump. Why not just ram slabs of that stuff into the star and use it as a giant heat sink instead? That would help stabilize the reactions in the same way as dropping a carbon rod into a fission reactor.
