Not everyone can get there, depends what your definition of 'reasonably hardworking' is. Are you willing to make poker the center point of your life and devote ~200 hours/month for a few years? Achievable. If you're a wizkid who gets the right coaching and has a super effective work process maybe doable in less time. Most of the crushing 100s regs have been playing for years. Many 100s+ HU Hyper regs from days past are playing 30s now.
Why are you speaking in terms of the exceptions? It's like saying 'well Roger Federer has 17 grand slams, therefore it's possible and that's what you should aim for lololol'. You need to be realistic. Stop looking at exceptions and start looking at averages.
And if being in the top 1% means you're making only 100k a year, that industry sounds pretty dead. If you're top 1% in virtually any other field, you can expect to earn a lot more than that.
