A decade ago I wrote "a universal solver" for such problems:
modifier.el.  A (possibly severely crippled) version is included in
Emacs.  In short, you can replace control- by using some prefix key.
I usually bind C-F12 to be a replacement for control- prefix (likewise
for other modifiers).

Hope this helps,
