There are currently methods that will remove the missile. The USAF Minuteman missile has what is termed as RV (Reentry Vehicle) which is the warhead itself. There is a method that the RV is rendered inert 100%.

For now missiles are the best bet. A million dollar missile is accurate enough to destroy an incoming missile. The US Navy has been highly successful using Aegis ships to destroy ICBMs.
I wonder if you could either use some form of EM radiation against incoming missiles

(yah i thought the first idea was better to)
Some tests were conducted with some new missile defence missile (some mod of the Patriot I think...) and it failed to intercept the incoming warhead
