However, I doubt that existing IQ tests are calibrated to work properly at that level

Ayup, the further from the mean you are the less meaningful the result is. Once you get into the 1%-2% of either end it's kind of meaningless.

It's not meaningless, it still means either "really smart" or "really stupid". It's just that the difference between an IQ score of 50 and a score of 60 is much less meaningful compared to the difference between IQ 100 and 110.
