They are using the phrase "literally kill me" as a hyperbole. It is a form of exaggeration. They are not in fact being killed, they are just annoyed. It is a rhetorical device used for emphasis.
The word "literally" has been commonly used for hyperbole in English for hundreds of years. There is nothing grammatically wrong here.
