Apart from MIRV I dnt think an effective ABM face any problem while dealing with large number of missiles cause you can not fire so many ballistic missiles at same time and this what I want to say, this will give your enemy time to get prepare.
What you say?
Thats correct, unless Pakistan develops a robust Nuclear Weapons Program (like that of USA/Russia), volleys of missiles would be difficult to launch.
However, it also depends on the BMD's effectiveness (which in India's case isn't even functional yet) in countering Ballistic missiles which have countermeasures (chaff/decoys). In the larger picture, BMD's effectiveness can also be greatly reduced by taking out BMD radars by Anti-radiation missiles or cruise missiles.
I suggest you should go through this thread:
