Yes, it happened. We have a typical small cabinet over the
over-the-range microwave, and someone put a bottle of cooking oil in
that cabinet. Of course, the bottle fell and since it wasn't closed
properly, leaked oil. This went through the vent into the microwave,
and dripped all the way through the microwave into the cooking
compartment.

Is the microwave basically unusable now? I'm afraid to try it because
of the fire risk. Can I take it out, dismantle it and clean it out or
should I just give up and get a new one?

Thanks for all the advice, and please refrain from telling me how
stupid I am. I already know that!

Yes you can remove it, dismantle it, and clean it thoroughly. Just be
cautions about touching any of the electrical/electronic components. They
can pack an unexpected wallop even if unplugged.
