Just delete it. Nothing to change in Clover. Try booting again after deleting.
So I deleted the custom SSDT file. It got a bit farther. But only a few more lines, and then it froze. I figured there were other custom fixes in the config.plist file that would have be examined.
So I went with OpenCore. I had already created a vanilla installer using their guide. I had run into the same graphics issue with that installer, but I didn't have to patch anything or futz with anything else. Of course, there is no automated installer like Unibeast or anything mildly simple setting up OpenCore.
I copied the iGPU device ID from Hackintool and then pasted it into OC's config.plist, and then it just booted and I brought over all my other files from my real Mac using Time Machine.
But of course there is a catch. The iGPU is now not accelerated and only showing 7 MB of free RAM so I'll need to fix that. It seems that a lot of builders have this issue, and yes, it's related to the device/platform ID of the iGPU and how it's related to the Model/macOS. If you have any suggestions that could help remedy this out of the gate, please let me know:
This whole 10.15.5+ Hackintosh install, this board/chipset (Z390), and Catalina are a real bear to get working together, and it took me a couple of weeks to get this far though I had a fully functional and hardware accelerated GPU and stable machine on Mojave
However, I want to thank @UtterDisbelief for pointing me in the right direction and @pastrychef for his relentless help in troubleshooting this. I probably couldn't even of gotten here. Thanks guys for your help!
