This is how to set it via CLI:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 0.5

[0.5 is the minimum allowed value.]
Please note that the GUI and the CLI are controling the same parameter. Rather, what you set via CLI will be multiplied by what you have set in the GUI. Therfore, if you have set UI scale 4 via the GUI, by executing the above command you will get an effective UI scale of 2 [= 4 x 0.5], which helps you to solve the problem via GUI.
