Another card POTUS can use: He has the Constitutional authority to postpone the Inauguration deadline. There's historical precedent. His 2018 EO and the assessment due by next Friday are part of the legal/factual predicate for such drastic action.
In addition to that, he always has the "Oliver Cromwell" option. It was what we invoked in 1776, and again in the Civil War.
