Ok, true about the divergence, but how installing lasers along your flight path? In principle that should work, right?
Or alternatively instead of placing stationary fuel pellets in your flight path, have them accelerated by an external accelerator to as high a speed as possible.
You'd end up spending hundreds of thousands of years, and expending the combined resources of many solar systems, just to deliver one guy in a space capsule. What is the point of this journey anyway?

I was thinking you were saying it was physically impossible. But you're right it's more of a cost issue.
