Be 8 nuclear instability

I have a Ph.D. in chemistry and have studied relativistic and electron
correlation effects in atoms and during my studies I have been trying
to figure out some details regarding nuclear stability. Given the
cosmic significance of Be-8 instability in big bang nucleosynthesi is
there a compelling reason why the beryllium-8 nucleus is unstable?
Since liquid drop and magic number arguements are not applicable, is
there some reasoning in QCD or something involving fermions vs. bosons
that is consistent with the stability trends of other nuclei? Do you
know someone who may be able to help me find this answer?
thank you very much for your time
