Looks like milipeds, rather than worms.
Why do you want to get rid of them?

There’s suddenly a lot of them… not sure how or where they came from and it’s in my balcony. Afraid it crawl out n scare my wife.
Will they die if I don’t water the soil ?

At least they will crawl back into the soil if you stop watering and your wife will not see them. Possibly the tree dies before the millies if you leave it without watering for long time.

Millipedes can move, trees cannot. You overwater and the millipedes move out of the soil. Your tree is still there. You dry the soil out, the millies leave but your tree is still there. Easy as that. You can kill the tree with unfavourable conditions but not the millies, they will just move to better conditions.
