Most likely if they tried, it would end up 100's if not 1000's of miles off course, splashing down in the ocean.
I did a quick search and found an interesting table of distances from North Korea: 5,600km to Anchorage, 7,100km to Honolulu and 7,900 km to Seattle. Given the current missiles that North Korea has, the Taepo Dong 1 could hit Japan or Guam while Taepo Dong 2 (suspected of up to 6,900km) would likely still fall short of Honolulu.
