I do not have a conclusive answer to your question but my experience of riding into the US from Mexico on a foreign registered motorcycle is that they do not put it into your passport or issue a TIP so saying nothing at the border and just scrapping it might be an option but why not advertise it here and on other fora and try to sell it to someone heading south? If it is not possible to change the registration document give the buyer a letter of authorisation (poder?) to cross borders with it.
You are correct in saying you cannot register it in the US.
