AFAIK, Saudis are a key ally in the region which is why we turn blind eyes to Riydah. So, no, the US wants the current regime to stay and keep the status quo.

Losing the current regime could be bad news. Who's to say who and what fills the vacuum? Better to keep the current regime propped up than roll the dice and possibly lose.
There are no bones about the Saudis being every bit as undesirable a regime as some others.
