We in fact accessed the Stelvio via the Umbrail pass which I'm guessing may be a quieter route - it was still unsurfaced at that time. Not sure if it's a harder or easier climb but my impression was there are more possibilities to pull over and cool down. I wish I could say that was a plan, but we'd just spent 4 days up a Swiss alp rebuilding the gearbox and that was simply where the road led us. Happy days indeed.
