Anyone ever lie about experience on resumes or job applications?

Don't. My friend does interviews occasionally and he's caught people lying.

Well I would want to be subtle and not aim for anything huge, which is what my friend did, he said he worked for a company that no one had heard of that went under so no one could investigate

My family own a business, I use it as a front to shoot my experience in it or other things. Companies would lie to you if they would get away with it.

Lying about your credentials is a bad idea, because you might get into situation where you are expected to perfrom at a level that you can't sustain, and you can't fall back on "I don't know how to do this shit" excuse because you said on your resume that you can do this shit.

I've personally never lied on my resume and instead put in effort to ACTUALLY acquire the kind of experience that I can put on my resume later.

Yeah, I have but I made my lies believeable. I didn't say I was the CFO of some company, just white lies such as working a different position in a company or saying I worked at a place for two years instead of one.

Lie, but don't lie in a way that they can verify is false.

Worst case scenario if you don't lie - it takes longer to find a job
Worst case scenario if you do lie - you get fired and blacklisted in the industry
