ELI5: If volcano eruptions are from pressure buildup, why not just drill and relieve the pressure?

If they spot an active or risky volcano, why can't they just do some carefully-placed drilling and relieve the pressure before it has time to build up? Has that ever been attempted?

That's a monumentally risky endeavor for so little reward. You could get seriously burned, possibly trigger a real volcanic eruption, and release toxic gases into the atmosphere. Furthermore, as long as the core is hot, volcanos will still erupt, and the nuclear fission of the uranium in the core will *keep* it hot for a long time to come.
