I may be missing something fundamental here, but I don't see this take as easy. Yes the double is 100% obvious, but I would be heavily inclined to drop this cube.

White is stuck with two checkers on the ace point and with so many rolls cleaning up blue's blots, white is stuck with very little outfield control. If blue only cleans up one of his blots, green is going to have to leave his anchor if he wants to hit. He's got a loose blot in his home board and this could lead to many gammon wins for blue. I just don't see the counterplay for white here. His best asset is his home board which is in good shape except for his blot. I do not know if that would be enough for me to take this cube.
