Are his immediate descendants also unwilling to grant whatever it is you want from this kingdom? Supporting one particular heir from the old regime might not be the only option here. If it's just this particular king that's the obstacle and not the natural position of the state, it doesn't actually matter who you replace him with. And if it is the natural position of the state, then just about anyone you replace him with would probably come around to opposing whatever you wanted anyway.
Also, if it is just him, you don't necessarily have to *kill* him to take him out of the decision loop. If mind controlling him is actually an option, you might be able to drive him mad or inflict a disabling stroke instead.
