I got it. Simply grab the symbol's value once it's been interned. Thanks again for your help :)
(defun my-add-case-fixed-abbrev (name expansion &optional table)
"Add fixed case abbrev with NAME and EXPANSION into TABLE.
TABLE is optional; defaults to `global-abbrev-table'."
(interactive
(let ((table (symbol-value (intern-soft (completing-read
"Abbrev table (global-abbrev-table): "
abbrev-table-name-list nil t nil nil "global-abbrev-table"))))
(name (read-string "Abbrev name: "))
(expansion (read-string "Expansion: ")))
(list name expansion table)))
(let ((table (or table global-abbrev-table)))
(define-abbrev table name expansion nil :case-fixed t)))
