What was Saruman's endgame? Did he really thought he could

it's fantasy, anon; it doesn't have to make sense.

once you have the Ring, then you can defeat Sauron and replace him. both Gandalf and Galadriel say this. pay attention.

He was at the same level of sauron, a maia, plus he studied the ring, i'm sure he had a solid way to control all of sauron's doings.

once you wield the One Ring, you can control Gandalf Galadriel and Elrond, plus all the other lesser Ring Bearers like the RingWraiths. . their combined power would crush Sauron

It should still have it's own set of rules that make sense and make the setting believable, which LOTR did possess.

Making sense within the world it's in, what's weird about that?

He only wanted to see Galadriel riverdancing

He thought sauron taking over was inevitable so picked the winning side. It's not difficult
