Oil does not become unusable when it goes out of grade by a single step.
And oil which is formulated as a 30 may be on the very high end, and a change in viscosity of a couple percent can change it to a 40. Doesn't mean you have to change it. Same with a low range 40 which can become a 30.
I probably wouldn't run an xW-20 (although evidence shows very good results with these formulations in real-life), but I've been running 0W-30 in everything I own since AMSOIL put it on the market some 15 years ago.
And, a 0W-30 is no more likely to break down than a 5W-30.
