Since STR dits aren't really worth it until level 80 and you aren't able to use a HTP, which makes a huge difference on your endgame base stats, until level 120, the easiest thing to do is just to go dexless and strless until level 90 or so. You should be able to keep your str/dex at 4/25 and just use Maple Wagner -> Diamond Dagger -> Fan, and still do some pretty good damage. All you need is a ZHelm, a Deputy Star, and a cape/top that adds a little STR for the Fan. At level 8x you can begin making an upgrade to your endgame stats by getting a good Pireta set and adding base STR and DEX until you can equip a Cursayer/Khanjar. After that it's a simple move up to HTP/DKhanjar/Pescas or Kanzir when you get there.
If you want some early game power to make use of how overpowered Bandits are in 2nd job, consider getting a 25~30 stat top/bottom set. It'll last you until it's time to convert. I used a Red Pao set, but it's probably better just to get common gear.
Double Stab was useful for me until 3rd job when I got Band of Thieves. I would've just dropped 2 points from Nimble Body and added them back in late 2nd job when you have like 10 extra points.
