And he strikes out -- no, it's a home run!

He didn't pass anyone on the bases.
When the "third strike" was thrown the score was 3-0. After they counted his run the score was 6-0. So the other two runners must've rounded the bases and scored ahead of him.
 
I don't think you can steal first base, so I'd imagine he'd reach first on a WP. Not sure how the rest of it would be scored, though. SB? FI?

Guy who gets to first safely on a dropped third strike always gets credit with a stolen base.

You could argue that he got on base and came around to score on defensive indifference.
 
And it's not really a home run. I think that should be scored KD-SB-SB-SB-SB.

I was thinking the same thing, not really a home run. So, assuming the two guys on base reached on hits or walks, does the pitcher get charged with two earned runs after this fiasco?
