At one point there was an amazing chart of evaluative words & phrases like "bad" "good" "okay" "pretty good" "not bad" "excellent" "fantastic" etc and which ones people from different countries were most likely to use, and what they meant on a scale relative to each other

In UK English, "quite" can mean "a little bit" or "absolutely". The context generally makes it quite clear which is meant.

so how literally can mean figuratively?

Also "that's not quite right" means "that is literally garbage, how dare you". "quite good" can be used for emphasis in the UK but you need to stress the "quite" and sound faintly surprised.

Actually sounding faintly surprised works for emphasis in a lot of cases.
