Pakistan is not giving up its nuclear weapons, and with the 4 Khushab reactors coming online it certainly is not going to stop expanding its arsenal, so the West can try its best.
They are a little late though - the best time to sanction Pakistan economically and prevent a buildup of its nuclear weapons capability was back in the 90's. Now, if the West wants to sanction Pakistan and destroy it economically, they also have to contend with a massive nuclear infrastructure falling into the hands of extremist groups or leaders in the military, and in case of an attempt to 'neutralize the nuclear infrastructure, the deterrent factor mentioned already applies.
Therefore I doubt the West is going to resort to reducing Pakistan to NK status, unless Pakistan ends up with a leader like Kim Jong or Hitler.
There are many ways to make any country 'kneel', yet the were not tried at the most opportune time, right after the nuclear tests. If it hasn't happened yet with Iran, it is a long way from happening in Pakistan.
BTW, Pakistan has the agricultural and economic resources to support its population by itself, unlike North Korea.
