#2 That would be war.

Please recall that the Norks have thousands of ancient artillery tubes in the hills on their side of the border, and that Seoul is in range. Even with the bestest counter-battery artillery, aircraft, etc., by the time we stopped them, many, many people in Seoul would be dead.

That's not a price the ROK wants to pay just to take out a Nork missile.

#3 B-2 + small diameter bombs pretargetted to hit the cave mouths and air vents of said artillery. Same problem that Ludendorff faced; for that strategy to work you have to strike first. If I was pudgy, I would tone it down a notch.
