How would this work?

I mean you could use a d8 with duplicate 1-4 numbers.

Or a d12 with 1-4 three times, which is what I use for my d4s

The original d20s doubled as d10s. They came uninked and you were instructed to use two different colored markers to mark one set of 1-0 one color and then second set a different color.

Rejig everything so it's so multiples of 6.

Warhammer moved from D3, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20 to just D6 (and D3 from D6) You need a lot of D6, but they're ubiquitous.

Wouldn't that change the probabilty curve? I guess it could be nice if you wanted to limit critical success and failure but it might reduce the sense of randomness.
