All the systems above were either considered or do not apply as I don't have a jack-type bottom strap button.
I should mention that Emerald did reply at least in part to my question. They said that they frequently install strap lock systems at the factory and that you can removed the stock bolt/nut buttons and replace with screw-in types. So that's good info but I'm still not too keen on attempting to remove that bottom button although worst case I'm sure I could cut it off with a dremel tool but getting in there without damaging the guitar might be hard. I'll likely just stay with what I have for now. I've got that new system pictured above that works when I need it.
