Then retype the failed command and add --no-nvram --removable
This works without error.
Then type update-grub
and exit.
By failed command do you mean the error message I get when the install fails?
Yes you can copy and paste it, from grub-install to --force and then add
--no-nvram --removable
You are not getting it - this error has nothing to do with the physical device - it refers to the limited storage available inside the firmware. This is a storage space you cannot control directly - you need to use either the firmware or the efibootmgr command to remove unused entries.
I removed the unneccesary boot entries down to 4 and it still doesn’t work I don’t understand how I could remove any more to make space without breaking something. This is the output of efibootmgr

I suspect it because your listing has both eMMC and NVMe which usually only applies to a Pine64 laptop
How would I know if I have a Pine64 device?
Did you try my method?
What error for the grub command?
No I have not.
Well I don’t - but an ARM device would explain your issue.
Weill - I had to go backwards - and according to your sysinfo - which I obviously missed it is not a Pine64 ARM based system - sorry for the confusion.
Should I try Simon J’s method?
Well I am no oracle - I cannot tell you then answer to that question
Did the steps you suggested terminal installed the grub with no error should I try the actual install now?
did you update-grub afterwards?
If yes, then just exit and reboot
