Really the fastest way to disarm a nuclear weapon is to blow it up.

Risky if you do not want to be blown up too or at least irradiated. Decommissioning does involve removal of nuclear material first. Missile fuel is likely burned up as it is highly toxic.

Yes, you'd create a mess (understatement), but there isn't risk of a nuclear detonation.
