HUGS. Sorry I didn't see this earlier & I'm very sorry to hear he is going through this.
Having had not read trough the whole thread apologies if I'm covering old ground. I'd certainly go with Audit rather than Fail. We sort-of did this for Latin 3 for my DD her senior year, she didn't this class need to to graduate or get into the colleges she was trying to get in. But the F on her transcript would have been fatal to her plans. She officially dropped but stuck around and got credit for grading Year 1 homework. It's really wasn't great (I was trying to get her to take another math class instead) but IMO colleges really don't like seeing F's on the transcript. So this is really a better option.
I'd feel better about this since they are still willing to let him take the AP exam. My school can be a bit of a stickler about this. Teachers tend to discourage kids who aren't getting at least B's in their class.
Another thing to consider is having him take the second semester of this class through an online school over the summer. (Don't know what his summer plans are.)
What is he trying to do after H.S.? What is his goals?
