Apparently you can just disable the big cores and it will boot: https://www.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x-bootloop-fix-boot-ph...

But mine's running perfectly so far. I even slightly overclocked the big cores. Changed to underclocked right now :D

I tried that when my last phone died. It didn't work.

From what I saw trawling the XDA forums, there's a small percentage of bootloop victims who have all cores affected and not just the big ones, and I was part of that unlucky few.
