I think you're making this harder for yourself than it needs to be. Most options holders treat their options as entities onto themselves, to be bought and then sold later, hopefully for a profit. Very, very few are exercised for actual shares (except by exchange specialists/arbitraguers, but that's another story entirely).


I disagree. I know of many veterans who exercise half the calls/leaps and take the profit of the others--and when the runup has been good enough, they actually get hundreds of shares for next to nothing, or even "free." It's commonly done.
