There's an idea I had recently (as in, just a few minutes ago), to provide an alternate explanation for why Ruby's Silver Eyes were Super Effective on Cinder.

The most believable idea is that Cinder is weak to them directly or indirectly due to Beetlejuice inside her, because it's a Grimm. (And I seriously hope she's not weak because Maidens are weak to Silver Eyes, that would make Ruby much more Mary Sueish).

But.....Steve, God of Darkness, made the Grimm, didn't he? So, what if the hermit in the tale, was Steve? Meaning that the Maiden Powers come from the God of Darkness, just like the Grimm.

This would make the Maiden powers, and the Grimm, of similar nature. Thus, if the S.E. are effective against Maidens, it could be for similar reasons as for why they are effective against Grimm. But instead of petrifying them entirely, Maidens would mostly be injured instead, because Maidens still have some Light in them like other people.

At the same time, it makes it easier to explain just how a Grimm could steal the Maiden powers to begin with.
