Perhaps you could just rule for each success on the to-hit roll, you can
subtract one die of your choice from damage, i.e. roll the dice and then
take away the die that you want for each success.  This would represent the
precision needed to graze a target.   Feel free to write this up as a trick,
as I have a deadline for the Continuum time travel RPG (Matt, are you
reading your copy of Continuum?  I read your book!)  :)
