Some of the methods that require tanking hits were completely nullified when he was buffed in 1.2.3. The only good way to actually tank him with magic is with a piercing weapon such as the Nettle Burst and Spectre Armor with the hood. If you're looking to defeat Destroyer with magic, a piercing weapon such as the Golden Shower or Cursed Flames are extremely useful. Despite the Destroyer being immune to all debuffs, the piercing can still do high damage if hitting multiple segments at a time. Having a large arena with lots of space to dodge his attacks helps too.

As dor if he drops Hallowed Bars, yes.
