When would one use "enough as to"

Here are three different sentences?

1 How could you be so stupid as to do that. OK

2 How could you be stupid enough to do that. OK

3 How could you be stupid enough as to do that. THIS ONE, PEOPLE SAY ITS WRONG

Could you say the last? Is it grammatical? if not when would you use "enough AS TO...."?

Thank you

Do you personally think it's correct to use "enough as to"

as do you think the AS in all the sentences you wrote is redundant?

Would you use it?
