No. I am concerned about the ones that are intended to land (near) Guam.

That would be bad, but the military may retalliate before the missiles even hit.

So whether they intend it to be a warning strike off the coast or not, all hell would break loose.

I've never heard anyone discuss this.
Over the years, NK has had a hard time just getting missiles up into the air --- nevermind having sophisticated guidance systems.

They don't have trouble getting missiles up in the air anymore.
