I got this RCA Reno it’s sluggish but in excellent condition, so I’m wondering if I could do any hacking to it to make it more smoothly operable.

It’s a theft deterrent, so it would be kind of pointless if there was an intentional way to disable it other than to log in with the owner’s account. The people providing the tools to bypass FRP want their cut of the stolen goods, that’s all.
I’m not saying that your specific phone is stolen (although if you got it in this state… yeah, it most likely is, FRP triggers when you do a factory reset from the recovery instead of going through settings), but you have to understand that what you want is exactly what a thief would want, and the proce of the tools reflects that.
Well, I got it on eBay with a bunch of stuff that needed repair some were ok. This device works fine, seemingly, but I can’t get in so I’m gonna just sell it with disclaimer about the lockout.
I once found a workaround on a trashpicked Android 5.1 phone by Huawei. There was a shitty third-party keyboard during the setup, so I tapped around and found that it has DLC themes. Attempting to download one resulted in a popup “Offline? Check network settings” with a link into the Settings app, where I could set a lock screen passcode and then remove it, which nullified FRP.
Later, I found a YouTube video with instructions for another exploit, which somehow reached Settings via the screenshot shortcut and then attempting to share it via Gmail. I imagine weird phone brands will have several exploits like this.
Oh… lol okay I think my responses got derailed a bit. The RCA Reno is fine I don’t have a problem. The FRP lockout is on a Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro. I have it listed on eBay for sale now, including a warning about the FRP lock. Hopefully someone who has lots of exp with this maybe will purchase it. If not after a while, maybe I’ll make another attempt.
