A fourth option may exist as a viable alternative - use mechanical means to secure the wire.
Print a layer or two with a linear recess with a small complete or segmented overhang, then press the wire into the recess, snapping it past the overhangs. The recess should be as close or slightly larger than the wire diameter, and the overhangs just slightly less... in cross sectional ASCII art:
O <- mechanical pressure forcing the wire past the overhangs. __ __ (_) <- surface created with a small recess allowing the wire to snap into it.
