There's a fourth option that is designed to cover exactly this case:

4) Publish ssp with dkim=strict and t=s and it will not apply to
subdomains like thirdparty.bank.com.

Of course, when you do this, it applies to all subdomains (and
hostnames), not just thirdparty.

But can't you publish a full strict SSP for example.com, and also a separate not-so-strict SSP for billing.example.com? Or am I missing something? But that does mean you need to be able to say 'unknown'.
