Asteroids are not traveling nearly fast enough to be useful to transit from one place to another.
Realize you're talking about transit times measured in millions of years.
Even at these slow speeds, we basically get one shot to intercept it before its out of reach. There is no time to slowly launch many smaller probes to it, or build up a base on it.
