Nope. The pressure is from miles underground and the top level magma is just a tiny fraction of that pressure and only represents an indication of what is below.

I'm not an engineer. But lets think of a pressure cooker. If heat keeps being applied, it will eventually expode. But it has a steam vent that prevents it from happening.

Why not the same concept to drill holes that vent the pressure?
