Exam class -- grade table for a single question?

Question

Let's say I have an exam with an open-response question worth ten points:

• 3 for the thesis
• 3 for the evidence supporting the thesis
• 3 for the explanation of how the evidence supports the thesis
• 1 for spelling, grammar, etc.

Is there a way to lay out that point allocation and create a grade table just for that question? (Specifically, is there a way to do this with grading ranges?) I want to make visible where the students' answers to the question succeed or fail.

Unsatisfying options

• I can make a grading table manually, of course, but I'd prefer to do it programmatically if possible.
• I could list the criteria in a parts environment, which would also list the associated points, but that feels kludgy. (From this question I know that you can't make a grading table that breaks out the value of individual parts.)

Update: What I'm working toward

Where I'm trying to get to would be something like this:

...where those criteria are parts of the question, so that they would be counted in a grading table for the whole test. The best idea I've been able to come up with is to create a special rubricparts environment to use instead of the normal parts environment; it would typeset the items in this tabular format instead of the usual list format. Of course, if there's a way to graft this onto the standard parts environment, so much the better.

This is as close as I can get to a MWE for this question. I know the lack of a MWE is penalized here, but I don't know how to start, or whether it can even be done.

Update 2: MWE

I didn't initially add a MWE because I can't figure out how to start on this problem, so, by definition, anything that I would put forward doesn't work. But I can add a MWE that compiles, even though it doesn't include any attempt to do what I want:

\documentclass[addpoints,12pt]{exam}

\begin{document}
    
    \begin{questions}
        
        \question How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
        
        \begin{parts}
            
            \part [3] Thesis
            \part [3] Evidence
            \part [3] Analysis
            \part [1] Mechanics
        
        \end{parts}
        
    
    \end{questions}
