As of May 3rd, KGTV-TV/SurveyUSA poll shows the following candidate percentages.

Hilton 20
Steyer 18
Bianco 12
Becerra 10
Porter 8
Mahan 7
Vilaraigosa 5
Thurmond 2
https://www.realclearpolling.com/latest-polls/governor

The total for the candidates above is 82% meaning there is 18% of the votes belonging to minor candidates or the undecided. IMO, if any Democratic candidate isn't above 10% by May 15th, they should drop out and endorse a Democratic candidate that has more than 10% of the vote. Using the above as an example, that would mean between Porter, Mahan, Villaraigosa, and Thurmond would drop out and the total percentage, 22%, would go to either Steyer or Becerra. If those votes split 50/50 Steyer would be at 29% and Becerra would be at 21% and that would eliminate Hilton and Bianco.
