On Bonanzas, they test fly the airplane and adjust the wings until the plane flies straight. Then they tape on the stall strips and adjust them until the plane stalls straight ahead with no wing drop. Then they bond on the stall strips. That seems like a good system for our Lancairs. Make the stall strips and use aluminum tape or similar material to test them before they are permanently bonded in place. I think prefabricated stall strips could even be painted before bonding and added to an already painted wing.
