Fair enuf. However, one underused one already exists: C-h.
I moved all the C-x 4 to C-h and now my map is full!

I HATE this! I find C-V and M-v too hard to type. So I bound
them to C-A and C-Z respectively. C-V is BOL.

I have some suggestions, based on the idea of doubling keys:
Use C-Q, C-L, or C-J as a prefix. Move quoted-insert, redraw,
or whatever C-J is bound to to C-Q C-Q, C-L C-L, or C-J C-J.
