I wonder (out loud) if changing all bypass caps to something like 2012 or larger and mounting them on the back would free up additional top-side space in the denser boards? I remember long ago that some people used IC sockets with a bypass cap mounted in the center of the socket. I think they still make them, but they probably cost more than the sum of a regular socket and cap. For parts ordering, I usually use Digi-Key or Jameco; sometimes Mouser but only if the others don’t have it. I also buy odder parts from “acpsurplus” or “huskerfan40214” on eBay. I usually buy ahead and in bulk for projects to I try to take advantage of volume discounts. The downside is that I have a large box of tubes of chips. When a new project comes up, I “go to the parts cage” and pull parts, then do a fill-in order if needed. If I’m running low, I’ll order in quantity and stock it. For the most part, I’m only doing refill orders at this point — it’s rare that I don’t have a part in-stock. I keep an Excel spreadsheet of my inventory so I know where I am with stuff.
