Can't we just drop a tactical nuke on any such volcano to take it out before it erupts?

Maybe but, that would be a head sell to the million of folks living near a volcano that might not erupt for thousands of years. Doing so when and eruption was imminent would, practically speaking, do no god since the presure has already build up.

I'm not sure whether there would be a net reduction in gasses and ash released or not. The nuke might just add to the mess. But it's an idea worth pursuing.
