Just checking back in and catching up...
Sounds like maybe you are describing what is called a "tongue rise."
If that's the case, then what Mutt said... having the fretboard sanded down from 17 up (skimmed, I think he said)
But for a Squier, that expense just aint worth it.
What you CAN do, however, is treat the symptom. A fret leveling of those offending frets can help. The problem is you can only go so far, so you will wind up with a compromised setup.
This is what I would do as an affordable "fix" for a cheap guitar.
Yes it will be better
No it wont be perfect
Saves some bones and get a better guitar when you can afford it. (again, I am assuming this is a lower line Strat. I see this problem fairly often.)
Other than that, I say we'd have to really see a picture....
