You may want to try "Shatter":
-Set the Radius of Force1 to (0).
-Create a Custom Map in a new comp using CC Ball Action or even the Grid effect applied to a solid.
-Import this comp to the main one and us it as a map in your Shape menu.
-Animate the Extrusion Depth as you like.
Here is an old example:
