In some games I get frame dips from 60 fps straight to 55 fps and causes the game to freeze and stutter for a second and has become extremely annoying. A reddit post (link below) solved it and many commented success. I was wondering, mainly because I am worried I will completely ruin my PC, if someone could help me out on how to properly uninstall and then reinstall display drivers, because i cannot find a proper tutorial online.

DDU should be safe to use but have to boot to safe mode, which is why I don't use it.
You can uninstall gfx drivers(programs and features, click on Nvidia/AMD drivers, click uninstall), reboot, install new ones. Done. Remember to update PhysX too.
Nothing can break.

(For other users)
If you are using AMD gfx, make sure its just gfx driver you are uninstalling and not chipset drivers, if you have AMD cpu.
