Can't they just say - "we did our best to look into what 51% of you wanted but it's just not feasible" - and back out of leaving?

Well, sure - that would have been the logical outcome (and might still be), but the problem is that the governing party was captured by a lunatic minority due to the fact that:
1) the PM who pulled the referendum stunt (to play to the lunatic minority) resigned rather than clean up his mess
2) he was replaced by a colourless non-entity, who proved incompetent as well, and managed to (a) lose the majority, making the party hostage to some North Irish lunatics) and (b) bungled the Exit and had to resign, leaving the choice of new party leader and PM in the hands of a small group of registered party members who are on the cutting edge of the Brexit lunacy
3) the party members picked a slimy fool to be party leader and PM and so here we are.
