If I go to the event horizon, I get spaghettified right? How does that not mean I am being spaghettified (ever so slightly) right now?

The difference in gravity between your feet and head isn’t enough to spaghettify you right now.
Your feet are closer to the Earth and are being pulled by gravity slightly more than your head. But the difference in gravity isn’t large enough to deform you. Near a black hole however, the difference in gravity is much greater and overcomes the forces that hold you together.
