I don't have the link handy, but I recall reading that judges are completely within their rights to dismiss a juror who is openly planning to nullify. If this is true, then honesty is not a viable strategy.

I was sent home twice for that very reason. They weren't rude about it; they just sent me home once I said that I won't convict someone of a "crime" that didn't actually harm anyone or their property.
