Do you use GUI Emacs?  If so, then another possibility is to map the
keys that can't be mapped in the terminal.  For example, C-; C-' C-#
etc.

Like other have said, it often easier to use the modifier key at the
other side of the keyboard.  Also, on desktop keyboards it's often easy
to hold down ctrl with the knuckle of the smallest finger.
