I use a MegaTraveller system with one change.
If the roll of the dice is less than the attribute, you get a further +1, unless the roll is a 2. Thus a stat of 6 and 7 are different. Both give DM+1 for attribute/5, but the seven gives a further + 1 if the roll is 3-6 (before DMs), the six only on a 3-5
And for really high stats, if you beat it by ten you get another +1. So a PC with a stat of 15 gets an automatic +1 for rolling less, +3 for attribute/5 and if they roll a 3-5 they get another +1
It is a little counterintuitive at first but it makes slight variations in stats notable
