oversteer you can compensate for by tiny bit of opposite lock, but what do you do for understeer? chuck in more throttle, which will unload the front wheels = less grip up front = more understeer?

In most rear drive cars, more throttle puts a higher demand on the rear tires, which can break them loose and cause oversteer. Alternatively, if you want to get a better corner entry without inducing oversteer in a car prone to a bit of understeer, you can always try trail braking into the corner to keep more weight on the front tires. You definitely aren't completely screwed - there are things you can do to mitigate understeer to a certain extent. That having been said, it certainly isn't desirable.
