Extrapolation on the above, IMHO:
The Infernal Players Guide seems to suggest that infernal Discord is a fracture in the demons personal symphony, through which the Symphony can be seen. For a Calabite to break something, it has to find the notes in the true Symphony and fracture them (thus causing the disturbance), and the only way it can do this is to use it's Discord as a window to send it's destructive energies through. Removing the Discord from a Calabim would then remove it's resonance, and it's energies (and cloud of entropy) would be locked inside it. This will result in a resonance-less demon who will probably go really mad, really quick. Or it could aid in Redemption, as the demon is now closer to an Ofanim than ever before (no Discord), but I wouldn't be too fond of this as an option.
Exceptions are Calabim of Kronos, and those of Belial, who can somehow avoid the Disturbance caused. Calabim of Fate have, through some unknown means, a tie to the true Symphony, as do all demons serving Kronos. This removes the need for the Discord "window" that other Destroyers have.
Thanks to Leath for inspiring the Calabim of Fate explanation. And I can't remember who wrote the little bit I responded to. Sorry.
