Well, you know, you can optimize your game in a lot of different ways.
Online grinders are primarily looking to find miniscule leaks that are so far down the decision tree that it's almost impossible to exploit them. Like "this guy overfolds to x/r bluffs on the turn when board is dry" or "this guy is bluffing too much on completed flushes".
When you have a HUD and a large enough database, you can filter for population tendencies, create a HUD around them and exploit those.
At the same time you need to plug leaks of your own, sometimes they are so small like not playing KQo from UTG is making a difference of a fraction of a BB/100.
On the other hand, you could optimize for table selection, meaning instead of working on your actual game you find ways to play against more fish. I feel this is primarily what a good live player needs to do. You know, getting into good home games being able to see if a table is hot or not in the casinos.
I mean, if you look at those Vegas live grinder youtube channels, I feel that most of the guys are barely good enough to beat 50nl but their social skills are so good and their network so big that they always find an easy game.
