by deposing the NK regime and allowing either a more western friendly puppet regime or unifying the country under the South's leadership.

your assumption is faulty

everyone is basically begging China to take over NK. the fear isn't a "Western puppet state". the fear is that China doesn't want to have to pay to run NK. they don't want to deal with the humanitarian/refugee issues. it's that simple

like i originally said. the solution is regime change that is palatable to SK and China. many in SK have a desire for reunification but i think they'd settle for open access. then the question is who pays to run what's left of NK as China's puppet state

China does not want increased American influence on the peninsula.

This also pre-assumes there is a viable group in North Korea you could find that fits all the boxes that both sides require and done without the humanitarian and prolonged conflict and occupation problem China wants to avoid.

What is the evidence such an option is out there?

This. And another thought. The citizens of NK are all brainwashed in a completely faulty reality. They aren't bad people, but have a bad idea of what really is going on in the world. Specifically, their world.

If Kim and the regime is taken out, who reprograms these people? Is it even possible?

The Chinese really, really, hate the Koreans. They only reason they (limited) trade with them is it keeps them on their side of the border. They'd gladly let the US take them off their hands as we try (and fail) yet again at nation building.
