Shooting through the earth

+0
−0

Due to reasons of magic an alien god that is about to takeover the earth in one year and can only be stopped by being shot through the entire earth.

Assuming modern day Earth (no magic other then that protecting said alien god from all other forms of damage) and having the entire arsenal of mankind is it possible to shoot said alien god through the entire diameter of the Earth?

This can be done via nuclear bombs directing a shaped charge (sorta like an RPG on a massive scale) to bore through the planet, via blowing up a tunnel in some fashion a millisecond before a bullet pass through the open tunnel before it collapses or via any other means\combination, the only thing that's important is that the "bullet" (however shape or form it will be) will be shot down towards the Earth at one side of the planet and will pass through the entire Earth before going out the other end.

Hard sci question, I want to see the math involved
