Well, first be aware that the scores are not comparable across different queries. So any rule like "don't show any score < X" is meaningless. A _very_ good match at the top position (as judged by humans) for one query might score less than X, and a poor match for another query that was nonetheless the top scorer might be > X.
So I'm assuming you're talking about "bucketing", a single query, i.e. one star, two stars, three stars, 4 stars. This is actually pretty straight forward. Just put 4 stars next to the output if it's > 80% of the top score. 3 stars if 60%< doc score < 80% etc. Or cut off your list when it's less than, say, 50% of the max score. Or whatever. But I'm almost going to guarantee that doing this is not useful. It's a "feel good" thing sometimes displayed on web pages for search results that's misleading information IMO. When presenting results to users, they rarely look beyond the first 10 docs or so, so what good is it? Or is there some other use case (which you haven't defined) that you're trying to satisfy? This feels like an XY problem.
