...I bought a Mex. 70's Strat and now I have to rework the whole thing-new pickups, new tuning machines, new bridge, shielding, by the time it's done I coulda had the Jeff Beck model...but no giant headstock...
 
Consider this misfortune part of your education.

The other part is that the '70s Classic is just an H1 with a different neck and a better finish. The other parts are identical.

Bingo! Lesson learned. And you still get stuck with the non-quartersawn neck and the four to five piece body.

Why do you have to rework the whole thing? It's a pretty darn good guitar, right out of the box. If I were you, I'd leave it as is (other than putting a set of GraphTech saddles on it and a good set of strings) and play it at least two hours a day, every day for the next 6 months. I guarantee that your technique will improve so much in that time that you won't really care about the other things you mentioned. If they still bother you, sell it or trade it in on your "dream" Strat... you'll appreciate it even more.
