How would you do it?

Any such cap needs an UB-type rule to allow the exceeding of it.
TBaM applies to a
lot of combat skills, but has a
lot of
additional effects too, so as long as it's solely about being allowed to exceed the skill cap, I'd say something like Trained by a Master Thief or Master Wizard would be 10 CP or at the most 15.
But to honest, I think it's a somewhat silly rule to have. One way to "sweeten the deal" could be to give extra benefits for TbaMT or TbaMZ, but often if trying to do that you bump into the granularity of the system.
