That would be great if you could get it. The 0 Ohm resistors
I've seen do not have anywhere near that good a tolerance.

Usually through-hole 0 Ohm resistors have a single black band,
and no tolerance band. I did find some once that had a black
band and a gold band. Wishful thinking by the manufacturer,
I suppose.
