That does indeed work for me; all of my systems have the excutable bit

Then reboot and you should no longer see it on the grub menu. To change
it back should you need/want to in the future:

$ sudo chmod 755 /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+


The main thing with this package 'memtest86+' is that it is available only
while getting booted and not otherwise! It is not possible to check the RAM
after getting logged in since the RAM could be in continuous usage!

Well... yes. That's the purpose of the application.

You seem to have overlooked the need to run update-grub to rebuild grub.cfg after changing the file permissions!
