I think the best outcome would be bribing the Kim Dynasty go and other top leaders to leave with their planeloads of money and just live in comfortable exile in China or Vietnam or Russia or something and giving the rest of the high level parasites cushy symbolic military or government jobs or pension them out.
Then the five powers led by South Korea but including the US, Japan, Russia, and yes theRepublic of China in using that massive military and state apparatus in place in North Korea to rebuild their shitty country and prepare it for reintegration into South Korea itself over the next few decades.
Maybe even give China a new DMZ on the Yalu River to make them feel better. Your going to have to rebuild the country regardless and itd be infinitely easier to do via bribery and exile then any sort of potential War. Let the Kim Dynasty fade into luxurious obscurity like Idi Amin or Ferdinand Marcos.
