Saruman probably won't be able to destroy the Horcruxes because the only two confirmed ways to destroy one is

1. Basilisk venom, or an object imbued with it. Now where is he going to find a basilisk in Middle Earth?

2. Fiendfyre (cursed fire) of which the spell can only be cast by the magical folk of Harry Potter. Saruman's mae works quite differently from wands. Even though Mt.Doom has some impressive lava in it, it's not Fiendfyre and thus cannot be used to destroy a Horcurx.

Of course, he could always find and kill Harry Potter, but the chances of a villain actually managing to kill a main protagonist are, well, you know, slim.
