I set my windows 10 pc 20 pixels over 1080p and the monitor won't accept the input. I now need to revert back to the previous / a lower resolution without being able to see anything.. Don't tell me to interrupt the boot and go into safe mode because that no longer works with (at least mine, and a few others versions of) windows 10.

i had a similar issue, the combination that worked for me is: wait about three to five minutes to let your computer settle down from any boot activities.
Do the following exactly:
Right click the mouse. Press Up on the keyboard twice. Press Enter. Press Tab three times. Press the Space Bar. Type the number 8. Press Tab. Press Enter. This has forced Windows to switch to the 800x600 Screen Resolution.
