So long as you're interested in whole-number resolution:

:0 fw
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
* ^Subject:\/.*
| formail -I "Subject: BIGSPAM - $MATCH"

:0 E
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*
* ^Subject:\/.*
| formail -I "Subject: LILSPAM - $MATCH"

I re-write subjects like this all the time, and dispose of very
high-scoring spam using X-Spam-Level. Not usually both together like this.

What I do is tag the subject line with "[SA: _HITS_]". Then I can sort
my caught-spam folders by score. Sorting into possibly/probably folders
is via the X-Spam-Level header.

Here is what I do in my .procmailrc. It separates SPAM into three folders, based on a score of 3-3.99, 4-4.99, and 5+.
This can probably be adapted to other clients as well, as long as they can filter on X-Spam-Level headers (which I believe Outlook can't).

# All mail tagged as spam (eg. with a score higher than the set threshold)
# is moved to the folder Mail\/SPAM\_Processing\/DetectedSPAM.
