The original method you suggested -- deleting "MenuPosition->0" from the 
top of the style sheet file in a text editor -- works!

But this certainly seems unreasonably difficult.  Should I surmise that 
Wolfram does not want us to use any of those style sheets for new 
notebooks, and that they are just there for pre-5.2 legacy notebooks?
