No. In reality, every subatomic particle in Cooper's body would have likely dispersed omnidirectionally at the speed of light as soon as he crossed the event horizon.

I think you confusing the event horizon with some other threshold.

There is no reason to expect that damage will always occur at the event horizon. It is simply the point of no return.

And there is no reason to think that passing the event horizon would cause a breakdown of the strong nuclear force. If it would happen anywhere, it would be at the singularity....because why not....the rest of physics breaks there anyway.

What damage that would occur would be from tidal forces.....and the torn off bits will have a increasingly strong preference to move in a particular direction.

Gargantua was purported to be a smaller black hole, as Romilly told Cooper when they were on Dr. Mann's planet. For smaller black holes, it's likely that matter is shredded at, or just before, one crosses the event horizon.
