Any fixes? I see lots of suggestions for patch jobs online, but do they work? Better off to just replace it?

You can get used 360's all day on craigslist for $75.00
Gamestop will have them as well starting around $90.00 which is how I'd go as there is at least a little warranty period.
Sometimes red ring is not hardware but a corrupt download / update. That was the problem with one of my 3. I used to use them around the house as media extenders.
TIP: If you get another one stand it up, they stay cooler that way.
Heat cycling is the problem, the solder on the GPU develops hairline cracks.
If you are ready to pitch it then you have nothing to lose by pulling it apart and trying one of the fixes you find on youtube.
