What do you mean by a "huge resolution"? Do you mean lost of entries? Or do you mean that the entries themselves would have a lot of digits?

What you could do is: instead of thinking in terms of cycles per second, think in terms of (pico- or femto-)seconds per cycle. The table would have entries like:

(figures pulled out of ass, for illustration only)
20.0 deg C: 0.000 000 999 999 95 sec
20.1 deg C: 0.000 001 000 000 00 sec
20.2 deg C: 0.000 001 000 000 07 sec
20.3 deg C: 0.000 001 000 000 18 sec

and you're smart enough to figure out what happens with each oscillation of the crystal.
