LOL - agreed. A bomb that has been thoroughly tested (like an egg) is no longer useful ... and a bit of a Hazmat issue.
Our remaining bomb scientists have done much with computers, lasers ... to simulate the peculiar physics of really high temperatures and pressures. But modeling goes only so far ... and a conservative engineer would build new bombs to old spec and be pretty sure they'd work. But the estimate of confidence would slip a little each year.
