Before the movies, I never imagined Grima as possitively ugly. He was less-than-beautiful, that's for sure, but I felt that to be the King's advisor he must've won over not only the King himself but other nobles/advisors and it's that much harder to win people over if you are repulsive to look at, like PJ's Grima was.

Also, I believe it's stated that Grima served Theoden before turning to his evil ways, so I'm not sure Saruman would've given him the "power to convince", it must've been something Grima had on his own.
