Thanks!

Effectively there are 2 checks that happen to see if a creature dies. One is the check of toughness. If the toughness is 0, the creature is dead. If damage would be lethal (equal to or greater than the toughness) for a creature, the creature dies. Indestructibility means that a creature cannot die from the second check, but has no bearing on the first.
Great question, Thank You.

Indestructible basically says “ignore damage that’s not Wither,” right?
