Was a four engine torpedo bomber ever considered?

But the fact is that how and why they bounce has a big difference in the damage they do. Skip-bombing a troopship with 500-lb HE is going to kill a lot of soldiers being transported, while bouncing a Highball against an armored combatant is a great way to get below its belt and use the essential incompressibility of water to magnify the bomb's utility.

Didn't always work however..

The hole made in the side of HMS Malaya by a Highball during trials in Loch Striven in May 1944.
