Another idea is to try a 1.5x Erecting eye piece.

Any thoughts on if I should try for 60-70x and the cheapest best way to get there?
If you have a 2x barlow you could try unscrewing the barlow lens and screw it on the end of the EP. Not sure what magnification you'll get but it will be less than 2 for a standard barlow.
