There's a lot of misconception about wormholes here. A wormhole isn't a corridor in spacetime, it's literally a shortcut from point A to point B. There's no time spent actually inside of a wormhole; The two points are literally connected by spacetime. I could walk through a wormhole connection Earth to Mars and instantly be on Mars. If a wormhole collapses, there won't be anything in it, because nothing can be in it.

Not to mention the immense amount of power required to open one, as well as manipulation of gravitons. No beam is so powerful it can bend spacetime. That is such an old cliche; It's the science fiction variant of the sword so powerful anyone who wields it is invincible.

As for energy requirements, matter-antimatter is very hard to pull off. I'm willing to set that aside since the Achrisians were Kardashev III, but the Milurians and Tsuinarons are Kardashev II; If humanity found a matter-antimatter reactor, we wouldn't know how to work it, only reverse engineer it and pray it doesn't obliterate a considerable amount of land. Not only that, but how would the 'frequency' of a beam of energy (which is different from electromagnetic radiation) determine the exit point of a wormhole?

And then there's the number one reason I almost always say no to wormholes: Graviton manipulation. A wormhole is a black hole with antigravity holding it open and keeping it stable. You need to use some serious influence over bosons to open one, let alone stablize it. The Karnasaurs do it using their established use of higgsium, which manipulates gravitons.

All in all, in the name of keeping the sci-fi hard, consider it denied.
