LOL. That "one" is so variable for people. For me, it's neck only for solos, and then middle only if I'm playing rock rhythm, and THEN it's middle-bridge if I want some pushed twang, and THEN it's neck-middle for the "thwackle", and THEN it's bridge only for rock and roll skinny chuggin. Strats are great like that.
Buy a dowel just one step larger than 1/2". Cut 1/4 - 3/8" off and then use sandpaper to shape it to the right thickness and diameter to fit snugly in the 1/2" hole. You want it flush both inside and outside the guitar.
You don't want to sand after you've glued it in. Get it right and then glue it in. The rotary switch and thin washer will cover the fix.
Glue it in and let dry overnight. A full 8 - 12 hours. You'll have to drill a 3/8" hole in the plug and if you drill it before the glue is hard it'll break.
The next day drill it with a 3/8" bit and install your rotary switch.
I have push/pull tone pots for splitting and can get everything except the middle setting of the rotary: the phantom middle humbucker. One coil from each humbucker in series.
I do as well. There’s many tones that you can get on the five way rotary switch that you cannot get with just coil cutters on the tone controls and a three way switch
