If the book of Mormon had many grammatical errors, how could that hinder its message
No doubt, error in writing is a quick way to spot unprofessional writing, for example, numerous cyber attack has been detected because of a common spelling error, it is easy to question a professional email as being fake if you figure out some errors in it. likewise, the book of Mormon with so many errors wouldn't be reliable, but the case with the book of Mormon is that Joseph Smith who translated the original plate on which it is written wasn't even educated, he didn't have the basic education and still translated the book of Mormon to English.
When you read the book of Mormon, you will see a clear warning "if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ." as if Joseph Smith knew that there will definitely be errors in the course of his translation of the book of Mormon.
As a person who has read the book of Mormon countless time, page to page, and in at least three different languages, I know that focusing on the spelling and grammatically, even chronological errors that is the book of Mormon can hinder one from experiencing the spiritual transformation that can come from the book. Many will argue that God is perfect so his word needs to be perfect, this is true, but lets remember that it is not God who is imperfect, it is man who he uses to accomplish his work. The fact that the book of Mormon unbelievably has fewer errors, even though the translator wasn't educated, shows the correctness of the book.
