The steps one carries out to build a nuclear bomb are no more complicated than instructions on how to drop an 800 ton gold block on someone's head.
The difficulty lies in the rarity of the materials.

Exactly.
Nuclear weapons, even multistage (hydrogen) bombs - once the work of Nobel laureates - is now childs play for a competent machinist with a $35K cnc milling machine.

"The difficulty lies in the rarity of the materials."
To take that one step further, the rare materials have to be manufactured by equipment that is designed and built for the purpose of utilizing those materials. That equipment can only be manufactured with precise materials and processes that are also very rare.
