I think modding it like that would turn your "quick head light switch fix" into a long complex fix.

Welcome Mogger. Just leave the switch in the service stop position all the time and that way you won't drive with no brake lights. You don't have to turn the switch off when you get to where you are going.

If you do this, shut off the dash lights.

Bite the bullet and replace the light switch. They aren't all that expensive especially when you consider the vehicle it's going into. Just remember to disconnect the batteries when installing it whether it's the three lever switch or the push button variant..

From your post I think you need to download and read the HMMWV Operators manual TM 9 2320 280 10. It's available along with all of the repair manuals as a free download here:
