You assume Baron is a villain and a dictator. In Kouta's eyes, this is just an Invess game and Baron is just a contestant for now. An overly aggressive and competitive contestant, but one who has proven to at least play by their messed up rules.

Now, if Baron was a proven homicidal murderous maniac, then perhaps circumstances will necessitate disarming him. But now it just looks like playing dirty. Notice that Baron's Lock Seed didn't fly to Kurokage's or Gridon's hands when they defeated him, because it was not within the game rules and not "legal".

And also, this assumes that destroying the Sengoku Driver is a simple and painless affair. We don't know that, and most importantly, Kouta doesn't. The device is still attached to one of the most vulnerable parts of the body. It doesn't look harmless.
