I htink a solution might be to have to pay a fee that is proportional to the scope of the dmca take down request?

Unfortunately the DMCA isn't written that way. You can't charge any fees.

Even after the event for DMCA notices that are clearly incorrect or bogus or malicious?

That's not a fee (which would disincentive filing DMCA notices in the first place), but rather a compensation for damages (which puts the burden of proof on the victim).
