I think the whole "damage to the party" aspect of this is way overhyped. The Democratic Party is not going to tear itself apart if Sanders doesn't formally drop out and insists on a roll call vote at the convention. Heck, I think someone whose garnered ~45% + of the delegates is entitled to have their votes counted at the convention. That won't happen though because Sanders knows that the result would be embarrassing for him, not for Hillary.

I expect that Sanders will concede defeat once the primaries are over, and he'll get himself a nice speaking slot at the convention.
