On top of that, you can add a sight to bring up Accuracy to +5, Balanced (relatively inexpensive on a $150 weapon) for +6, and +1 skill with balanced bolts (+$8 per shot). If you expect to be able to set up, a crossbow rest for another bump.
By this point you’re cancelling the entire penalty for a skull shot, which multiplies ~12 damage by x4 after half DR.

Makes a pretty nice opening for backstabbing.
