Yes, this has been brought up before. I am certainly a big fan of this idea though. A craftable bolt between gold and onyx at ~+12 damage is something a lot of people would like. (I also would not be surprised to see a dev come on to this thread and say 'coming soon in 0.5.0')
In response to your idea of adding in so many, I disagree with that part. Another set of craftable bolts for T3 onwards is a good idea. But for lower tiers no. The crossbow isn't exactly a simple piece of weaponry. The bolts used in early tiers, and as well as the crossbows themselves reflect this. A relatively new swadian would struggle using complex weaponry early. So yes to maybe some balancing of heavy bolt damage and add in a craftable around that damage. But no to all the others.
Note: This is just my own personal opinion, I am not saying your suggestion is bad, just this is my take on the feature request.
