Dumb people manage to get PhDs.

An academic degree is not a good measure of intelligence

That's literally the entire point of the comment. It's a meaningless but intelligent sounding term.

Dr Mike Israetel comes to mind. Though as I understand he found a way to cheat the system

Intelligence can be cruel.

I can tell with confidence that it will be very hard for a dumb person to get a PhD in physics or maths from a reputable university, if not impossible. Can't speak for other branches that I have no experince of or the totality of PhD level education. But if you really insist, we can also condition on things like not cheating, their parents not being a major donor etc etc.
