I read there are some States where if the EC member does this their vote is automatically vacated and they officially quit their position or something. I think it was Pennsylvania but could be wrong.

I have to agree with you. Something like this wouldn't be good for anybody. Trump supporters would likely revolt, and honestly I wouldn't blame them. This would be the equivalent of the Governor General in Canada refusing to appoint a PM from the party that won the most seats. People would freak out!
I am not even sure that Romney or Kasich would want to be the guy seen as circumventing the usual process. If it failed, they would be done in the eyes of half the Republican base. It would be a career killer. And if a Democrat was chosen, there would likely be chaos and a political crisis for the next 4 years.
