How does one decide which core beliefs they want to change and which ones they are okay with or believe are accurate?
I would argue that as long as something is truly a core belief, it's not something we want to change. And it is not as if all core beliefs are undesirable - though I think this thread is mostly about changing core beliefs that are, in some "objective sense" (as if that could exist, but nevermind) bad for the individual.
