Just did your cryptic, and have a cuppla suggestions:
58A 'Strikes hard' could conceivably (to me, eg) be RAPS Since KAME was (again, to me) a WOE despite a few mountains in my history, suggest the clue be 'Butts hard'. This idea may have a testosterone hangover from the 12/28 NYT BEQ puzzle Making RAMS more likely reduces the Natick potential for KAME's M
38A 'God in latin' made me go DEO since DEUS wouldn't fit, and that gets you a FILOBUSTER. I think you could go with 'Gods, in Latin' or 'Agnes ___' to get DEI. Latin wants a capital, I believe.
46D PLUTO has been demoted, as you know; add 'once'or 'former' to the clue
