We wouldn't be limiting ourselves to conventional weapons at that point. Tactical nuclear shells from artillery comes to mind. Note that the US recently refused to rule out the use of nuclear weapons against North Korea when it said that it would never use nuclear weapons except in defense against nations that were parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
It would be more efficient, and on practicality I could probably stand behind it. On the other hand, that's an obscene loss of life of people who are likely not responsible for their government's actions.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the scope of damage from a tactical nuclear shell. I'm thinking along the lines of the WWII bombs, but if these aren't as devastating then that's something different. If we could locally wipe out mostly-military areas that way without devastating too much of the surrounding land and people, that would be awesome

If there were a war with North Korea the US has the resources to deal with it.

In a personal sense, we could hijack a nuclear silo and shoot an ICBM at Pyongyang.
