These two sound quite different, and the second form even sounds more sophisticated, but is there any real difference?
Answer
I have tried three strategies so far.
I have so far tried three strategies.
The two are equivalent.
Think of "so far" as acting as an adverb. Substitute now and you can say:
I have tried three strategies now.
I have now tried three strategies.
Same difference.
But if you are following it with a list, I would suggest you use the latter construction.
I have now tried three strategies: studying my rivals, cultivating new friends, and bribing public officials.
That way you put the noun that represents the list in apposition to the list itself.
