Having read all the data on the advantages of whole-grade acceleration, I'm still not sold ... He'd have to skip two grades,
I'm curious what you think of this bunch of data here:

The Institute for Research and Policy on Acceleration (IRPA) is dedicated to the study of curricular acceleration for academically talented students
Remember that even if he has to skip 2 grades eventually, that doesn't mean that it has to happen all at once. He can skip one now, and then add some subject accelerations later in the year when he hits the wall again, and then go to the 2nd full skip the year after - etc. Over a period of years it's less of an emotional jolt. But it's suprising how little it takes to get your son excited and happy again. For at least a while.
