If the value of one thing is somewhere in the range of $1-$100, then its value is hard to quantify.
But if you have one million of those things, you can still say "it's very likely I have value in the millions of dollars or more here".
The same logic applies here. All that has to be true for "we have millions here" to be plausible is that (1) the value of each individual, unquantified contribution is positive and probably >$1 (2) there are probably millions of such contributions. You don't have to be able to quantify with any precision any individual contribution.
Then put on the imprecise number? If you are looking for precision in estimates for the impact of projects you worked on, the vast majority of hiring managers reading resumes won’t care. They’re already going to be mentally sorting impact into broad buckets
