ELI5:Would it be possible to mine a white dwarf star?

I actually joined reddit to ask this question, couldn't find the answer online.

Not with science as we know it. We'd have to have some serious gravity/mass shenanigans to even get close to a dwarf star. 

If you could create a powerful enough gravity well in the vicinity of a dwarf star, you could possibly syphon off some of its mass. The problem then would be whether the impossibly-large-to-comprehend energy expenditure would be worth the payoff, in addition to mundane problems like avoiding being sucked in yourself.

In short: no way of knowing, with present science.
