I'll say again what I've been saying: the current way of using points make them matter in all ways except for the one that matters to the community: as some level of indication of quality. Generally, comments with a high number of points in relation to the thread it's involved with are generally well regarded and considered to add value. Exceptions exist, but they only confirm the rule. By using points to highlight quality comments, you'd solve numerous problems. You already use this method to hide comments. I don't see any reason not to do this for comments that are regarded more highly.
