Several times throughout Halo: Cryptum, it is stated that Precursor technology is completely indesrutcable. While this is disproven somewhat in the Halo Array's firing and melting of the ruins on Charum Hakkor, this was a rare case.
On account of Precursor technology using what Forerunners call "Neural Physics," and the Halo's use as a neurological weapon, it can be postulated that the only way to destroy or otherwise damage Precursor ruins is via neurological weapons. This could also explain the lack of any Precursor ruins in modern society (2552 A.D.) as they would have all been destroyed when the neurological weapon the Halo's use fired and sterilized the galaxy at the end of the Forerunner-Flood War.
