the grid will literally fry itself

I don't believe this is true for three reasons.

#1 it's glossing over the mechanics of how equipment will get damaged

#2 the people that own the equipment have ways of managing excess capacity.

#3 minuscule increases in grid frequency result in devices using power less efficiently, so they use more power. There's time to adjust power generation in surplus events.
