Thrawn P3 Chirpatine will be unstoppable

I was thinking about trying zader lead, ep thrawn shore rg or sab in place of rg now that she's 7 star also

Nope. It lowers current Defense by 50% (25% against raid boss)
So after 1 strike: 50% (75%)
After 2 strikes: 25% (56,25%)
After 3 strikes: 12,5% (42,2%)
You get the idea

Omeah, I don't think that's correct. I believe that there is only ONE effect in place, rather than multiple effects that would be calculated independent of each other. Rather, what mean is that each consecutive application seems to statically add -50%(-25%) to the existing effect. So after 2 applications, the effect icon reads -100%(-50%), does it not? So after, lets say 5 stacks on a raid boss, it should theoretically read -125% right? I've clearly never attempted it before since I'm only now beginning to gear up Sabine, but if that is the case, then my original question stands... Can multiple stacks of Armor Shred bring someone into -armor/resistance, and if so, will that amplify the damage done to that target?

Armor Shred DOES stack, it's just multiplicative, not additive. You can't reach negative defense. If you want it otherwise it's Defense*0,5^n , where n is the number of Armor Shred stacks. As you can see, no matter how high n is, you can't even reach zero
