Ledger live already supports a lot of ERC20 tokens. If they don't support the one you want,  you can add it manually by using MEW as explained here[1].

The same thing applies to the Trezor wallet . It's possible to link your wallet with MetaMask and have full control over your tokens and also the networks you can connect to.

On a different note, Ledger supports around 2000 different coins and tokens. In reality, most of them are useless. I don't think there is another hardware wallet manufacturer that supports that many altcoins and shitcoins like Ledger does. Trezor has a fair share of them as well, but the support depends on the type of Trezor HW you have. If Ledger doesn't support it natively or through a 3rd-party app, is that really an asset worth buying and keeping? Just something worth thinking about.

It is not technical advice but purely economic as most altcoins fail in the long run, so there is no economic sense in keeping them in hardware wallets.
It is better to keep them in the platforms and withdraw the coins that have value.

Trying to test a potential exploit using a dead erc20 token not really looking to keep any alts long term
