It makes it too easy to game the system and create gridlock because you only need influence over a bunch of very small percent of the population.

No political system is immune from gaming. You're trying to fix a problem every government has on some level by disenfranchising smaller groups in general. That problem would and does still exist in the house alone. I mean, the house is gridlocked right now, and it has nothing to do with the senate.
