No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Inquiries will drop your score but after a certain amount they really have no impact. I would say your issue would be an auto decline because of the number of inquiries or if an app goes into manual review because 60 inqs will scare away most underwriters. Your best bet, IMHO, is to garden and let some of those drop off.
Keep in mind that INQs only effect your CS for the first year, but will stay on for 2
My score on CK dropped 8 points and my Vantagescore dropped 14 for ONE inquiry. According to CK, I now have 10. At 669 I cannot afford to nosedive.

Like many questions here there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer. It all depends on your specific credit. If your credit is strong enough you'll be able to handle many inquiries. If you have a thin or weak file then you won't be able to handle as many.
It also depends on the lender's criteria. Some are more inquiry sensitive than others.
This isn't what you're looking for but they're a problem when inquiries are stated as the main reason for denial.

They can also cause less than ideal terms. IE get approved but with a high APR.
