I wouldn't return it, now that you have it. Just make sure bios is up to date, on your motherboard, and you are running the proper Intel defaults.

it is hitting 1.4-.1.5 core voltage while gaming on stock and on undervolt its 1.2-1.38, i asked intel and they said themselves that 1.3-1.4 is on degrading point .

That's why you need to make sure bios is up to date, that has all of Intel's fixes.

Be certain that you have selected intel defaults in the bios.
Some selections such as select optimized settings actually does some overclocking.

Also, there many voltages, are you looking at the right ones?

As a mitigation, in windows power profile, try setting max cpu % to 99%, not 100%.
That should disable any inadvertent overclocking.

As an alternative, if you must,
try a I7-14700. It can't be overclocked, and it is marginally slower than the 14700K

Your CPU is fine. Make sure the bios settings are correct, with Intel's limits in place. Asus is bad about auto overclocking stuff with their "default" profiles. You have a 5yr warranty even if something were to go wrong.
