Nice idea. From my experience with strain gauges, I recommend you use a couple of them in different spots along the contact area and average the values. Then you can compare to one single gauge if you so choose. Last thing you want is momentum or non-equilibrium giving false readings.
But you've thought of all this already, haven't you?
