ROB, no, even the cRc is more particular than what you said. I don’t know what you do, but I don’t recall you mentioning:
1) Rubbing the surface of the strawberries
2) Rinsing under a strong stream of water
3) Using detergent for the ones which are not round and smooth.
Even if you do all of these things, you would have to give a valid reason to explain what gives you the right to follow the cRc as opposed to the majority opinion which is that detergent, at a minimum, is necessary. The fact that your instinct tells you that using detergent is outlandish does not qualify, IMO, as valid.
If you have a legitimate posek, on whom you rely both l’kulah and l’chumrah, he did his own research, and you follow his method, that would be valid.
