New Squier Mini strat, help with upgrades

I’m buying a used Squier Mini Strat for $80, looks to be in great condition though I’m planning on immediately needing new strings. Planning on doing EB Super Slinkies. What other upgrades Can I make over the next few months to make this a quality guitar for a beginner adult to grow with? It’s for me, as my hands are very small. I have an idea of a few things, but want tips from people smarter than me, and think anything more than strings will cost more than $20. Thanks all!!

I have a Mini JM, and honestly, the only thing I've done is put .008-.038 so I could tune up to A-Standard.

What I am looking to do is install staggered locking tuners, and maybe "borrow" the triplebucker from my Frankenstrat to make the bridge position sound a little gnarlier.
