I seem to not be able to get along with a strat

Rolling the fingerboard is very easy, you grab a razor and just carefully scrape the edge inbetween the frets a few times (think 1x each 30/45/60 degree passes).

Correctly slotting the nuts isn’t hard, but probably best left to a luthier or tech who has done has the right files for the job cause once you go too low, ya gotta shim it or replace it.

Copy that, I will give a try. This seems like a good direction am heading towards.
 
Something noted, your JPs are offset waist while the W Strat is not.

Can't tell from the pics on the nut height. Do you have spark plug feeler gauges? If not then use a piece of paper.

Capo at fret 2 and measure the gap at fret 1 between the 1st fret and bottom of string. Do this each with the acoustic, JP and Strat.

If having to use paper, measure it has how many pieces will fit there without moving the string.
 
I think the neck looks a hair off at the heel. Low E riding the edge all the way to the 22nd fret, high E further in. Probably not the issue but I'd adjust it anyway.
