Unless the enemy can intercept the missiles, then you need more to guarantee first strike capability.

If you need 500 nukes to hit and the enemy can destroy 90% of missiles then you build 5000+

Again, that's more about delivery systems than just having more nukes. The capacity to intercept comes down to how fast and stealthy the missiles are.
