Would the Barbarian trait Lifting ST (Adventurers 16) do the job? That specifies that it adds to strength for Grappling and Grappling Moves.

Either way, I think I'd allow it: It isn't RAW, which specifies that Striking ST only affects damage of melee weapons. It feels like the idea of strike to disarm using ST is that you are hitting so hard the enemy drops their weapon, and it seems that being "able to deliver more powerful blows than your ST score would indicate" (Adventurers 53) would help with that.
