If one of the workers, at least one in the right position, wanted to do it, it probably would be easy (not getting caught afterwords may or may not be easy). From the outside? Well sabotaging the blowout preventer after its put in place a mile under the ocean would be very hard. (but maybe you can get access to it beforehand). If you don't care so much about causing a massive leak, so you don't care if the blowout preventer worked or not, it probably wouldn't be hard to find a way to destroy the rig if you either have a lot of resources or if you know what you are doing. But here is seems that the rig was destroyed because of decisions by management. I don't see any indication at all that the rig was sabotaged. Its possible, but I have nothing to base it on but idle speculation.
