On a Stratocaster type pickup, the third conductor would only help if the pickup has screening foil tape around the coil.
By definition, one pickup will always be hardwired to ground. If that is going to be the bridge position pickup, the metal baseplate can be grounded via a short jumper cable to the same soldering eyelet as the bridge pickup's black output conductor.
In some respects, it might prove wiser to give the metal baseplate its own separate insulated ground cable. That way, if you change your mind, the baseplate modification would be easy to reverse.
