Strat Position 2 neck+bridge?

I'm curious if there's a way to rewire a 5-way switch so that the bridge+middle position becomes bridge+neck without changing any other functionality?
I don't want to add a mini toggle or anything like that right now; I'm only into it if it can be done with the stock switch.

I've done a quick & nasty fix- I just reversed the middle and neck pickup connections on the switch. The sequence becomes bridge/bridge+neck/neck/neck+middle/middle, so a bit counterintuitive, but it got me the bridge+neck together, and it lost the bridge+middle, which I never used anyway.

A standard '5-way' switch is really only a 3-way switch with deliberate 'both at once' transition points, and so you can't choose which two are both at once. So unless you are happy to do the same as the above post, I think you'd need to use a different switch. It would be easy with a super strat switch.

That’s a good one!!!
