It depends on how close the corona is to the surface. If it's too close, like with brown or red dwarfs, you can't get close enough before starting to burn. If it's a white dwarf or neutron star you can't get enough hydrogen for fuel anyway as these stars primarily are burning helium or heavier elements. So your best bet to get fuel is from main sequence stars.
