For this money I can put in new Fralin Hots
I'm not Ron, but I do have a Repair business, Myself and many others charge about $65.00 total for a hand cut installed Bone nut....Most think they can hear a difference....the operative work being THINK...but mostly so they can Brag to their Pals, that they have a Genuine Bone nut...Your USA Strat has a fine Factory nut as it is...might just need the slots looked at, and Filed.
