I suppose that he could have used Luthien as a bargaining tool, but she would have already left her body by then. Also, wouldn't Melian figure something out? After all, Elven mothers were very close to their children and since Melian was the only Maia who became a mother, I think the same holds for her. She would have probably realized that Luthien was in mortal danger, and at least would have tried to counsel Thingol not to do anything rash. Of course, she did that when he had the Silmaril, and we all know how THAT turned out.
