At this point, I think the SDs would vote for Hill if BS won the pledged delegates

Sanders' scorched earth policy has pretty much ensured that he cannot and will not be the D nominee. You don't attack the Party the way he has and expect the Party to fall in line and take their marching orders from the guy who has been calling you corrupt.

Ds don't like Sanders. They don't like him by the millions of votes cast for Hillary, not him. They don't like him if they're super delegates. Were he to somehow win the pledged delegate count, I believe the supers would step in and act as the safety valve they were intended to be, and that would mean casting their votes to nominate Hillary and to prevent the destructive force that is Sanders from being the D nominee.

I mean hell the Sanders campaign is openly siding with Trump now!

The false democratic mask is coming off and the real Bernie is emerging, taking Donald Trump's side!

That said, no need to worry about it because of math.

more obvious that he should never get anywhere near the White House.

He acts like a naïve political neophyte. "Coalition building" isn't even part of his vocabulary.
