I really dont think you are supposed to look to deeply in the hammer thing. Not everything needs a textbook explanation. This feels like "why is Han Solo called Solo" kind of stuff. Its not necessary exposition.
I just see it as Cap has become worthy primarily because it makes for a great story beat, but also because doing this just as you write him out of the story makes for a very convenient ending.
I dont think him feigning unworthiness would fit his character too well. Especially when he could have been tag teaming with Thor throughout Age of Ultron.
