Regardless of small or big loan, it will be slashed. On PoW chain you would still have the mining hardware to run the attack again.
having hardware is not the thing that allows you to attack a PoW network. especially if it's one of the ones that anyone actually puts any stock in the network security of.
bitcoin's network security is a joke (although certainly better than PoS), so hopefully we're on the same page about that as well?
