I can't even think of any laptop or desktop LCD's with a native resolution of 640x480. So to force it to a lower, and thus non-native resolution, makes the problem worse.

Agreed. To increase font size regenerate unicode.pf2 using grub-mkfont with appropriate -s option. E.g.
grub-mkfont -s 24 -o unicode.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/X11/mis/unifont.pcf.gz
Put resulting file in /boot/grub/unicode_24.pf2 and add
GRUB_FONT_PATH=/boot/grub/unicode_24.pf2
to /etc/default/grub
