Module: Require certain quiz score or reach maximum attempts

I am in the process of designing some Modules on Canvas to provide students with an interactive mock example of a client meeting. The module is designed as a "guided story" with quizzes that require students to choose the correct answer(s) in order to proceed.
Because the story is designed in a very linear fashion, I have included Requirements for the Modules where the students must complete the content in the specified order before progressing through the story. The requirement for each quiz is that students get full marks on the quiz (and the quizzes have unlimited retries), but I have received feedback from students that they would prefer to continue progressing through the story even if they do not get all of the questions correct after a certain number of attempts on the quiz.
I tested out what occurs if we have this "perfect quiz" requirement while also limiting the maximum number of attempts for the quiz, and I found that students can be completely locked out from progressing (without a teacher allowing further attempts) if they use up all of their attempts without meeting this grade requirement for the quiz.
Is there a way to loosen the requirement to make it so students can continue working through the module as long as they have either received a perfect grade on the quiz or they have attempted the quiz a set number of times?

The quiz itself is the only place to specify the number of attempts that students have / may make. The module requirement types that are most relevant are (a) make a submission or (b) achieve a specific score. I would consider requiring a score that is less than perfect but still passing (perhaps 70%) a good response to feedback from students. On the other hand, if it is important for students to get things right, specifying 100% for the module requirement and allowing unlimited attempts on the quizzes would be best (that way students can get themselves unstuck with effort).
The module requirements don't have if/else logic or submit multiple attempts, so the configuration you asked about would involve multiple feature ideas.
