Any way to change/modify the clock widget on the lock screen?

Based on older threads, it appears that Android was "improved" a few versions ago to remove the ability to add widgets to the lock screen, so I suspect the answer is "no," but thought I'd ask.

I do see several options via Settings > Lock Screen & Security > Lock screen preferences > Clocks.  Of the pre-loaded options, I prefer  "Digital clock," but would like to enlarge and/or bold the font so my waking-up eyes can read the time without glasses. Also, a slightly different font might be nice, too.

So, am I S.O.L., or is there some tweak to be made somehow?

Let me suggest another way. Some custom themes, as far as I know, contain their custom lock screen clocks. The Minimal Dark clock looks best to me, although it is analogue, not a digital one.

So far haven't found a third party clock that I like, and have given up looking.
