Simulations of gauge theories on quantum computers require the digitization of continuous field variables. Digitization schemes that uses the minimum amount of qubits are desirable. We present a practical scheme for digitizing $SU(3)$ gauge theories via its discrete subgroup $S(1080)$. The $S(1080)$ standard Wilson action cannot be used since a phase transition occurs as the coupling is decreased, well before the scaling regime. We proposed a modified action that allows simulations in the scaling window and carry out classical Monte Carlo calculations down to lattice spacings of order $a\approx 0.08$ fm. We compute a set of observables with sub-percent precision at multiple lattice spacings and show that the continuum extrapolated value agrees with the full $SU(3)$ results. This suggests that this digitization scheme provides sufficient precision for NISQ-era QCD simulations.
