Given that my character has collected a few thousand stat potions (of
each kind) and I assume that quite a few more characters have even more
potions, I don't think a permanent stat raise would be acceptable.
Assuming that 1% success chance, my character would probably gain ten
stat points in total (for each of his stats).

Therefore, I'd rather make it a temporary raise: you gain 1 stat point
for (say) 1 day playtime with 1% chance. (And probably cap it to one or
two points in total.) I think, this solution would still drain the
excess stat potions out of the game but it would not (permanently) spoil
the game too much.
