Sure. Kirk's Enterprise could do it. It just took a long-ass time, and even with 30+ Romulan and Cardie ships bombarding the surface they estimated it would take several hours.

In a later episode the Defiant visited the Founder's planet on a mission. Dr. Basheer quipped something about how the Defiant could render the surface of the planet uninhabitable with a few rounds.

A couple of factors. One, the phasers were effective against the Borg soldiers for a limited time until they have adapted, and then the red shirts needed to "change frequency." However, they were offing Borg soldiers while the handheld phasers were working. Now, if every Fed ship fired phasers at a different frequency the Borg Cube couldn't block all of them.Originally posted by Lonestar
More importantly, in BoBW Feddie shipboard phasers are useless unless they "change frequency" repeatibly. In FC Phasers and Torps are launch and do serious, visual damage to the cube. There is an upper-limit to the yiel the Borg can recieve.
As for the Borg "sphere," well, it wasn't a standard Borg ship so it couldn't stand up to the Fed's newest and meanest cruiser. Sort of like a Borg ant wouldn't stand up to human stomping, no matter how it tried to adapt.
The second factor is space combat is much faster than shipboad combat. Space combats are in seconds, shipboard combat are in minutes (at least).(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget
