exmo here. I know what you mean with regards to retarded interpretations lol.
KJV can be a bit confusing as even though it’s English it still can have different understandings of how we use words. Which is why it may be good to refer to other translations as well.
Other version translate as ‘you shall bruise his heel, but he will crush your head.”
Meaning that the serpents attempt to defeat will cause some injury such as a bruised heel, but that same injury will be caused by his head being crushed fatally.
Ultimately the serpent has already been defeated in Christ. For us constrained by time, it is yet to fully play out.
Other interpretations can also refer to specifically ‘The seeds’. Meaning the seed of the woman is ‘Christ’, and the seed of the serpent refers specifically to a literal offspring of the serpent. Much like the watchers (fallen angels) lay with women and had children called nephilim (men of great renown refer genesis 6, book of Enoch etc) which corrupted creation and bought about the great flood , same at the end of this age. The offspring arrives and tries to lead all away from God, and corrupt his creation again.
If you are interesting in a podcast that talks a lot about this type of subject. I recommend blurry creatures. They confront a lot of these issues that Christianity isn’t willing to confront and explores the perspectives of people like Tim Alberino, Michael heiser, Judd burton etc. and explores the historical accounts of the Elohim, fallen angels/watchers, the potential alien connection as well as cryptids and other interesting topics. Other interesting perspectives if you haven’t already looked into them are those of graham Hancock and Randall Carlson, both having done many super interesting podcasts with joe Rogan.
