You should ask the guy at my gym who apparently doesn't shower, and singes my nose hair from 10 feet away.

Honest question: is there any way to tell a stranger they stink, without it being horribly awkward and even inappropriate? Truly, this is a gap in our social customs.

There is no gap, you just tell the person they stink!

Some things are awkward no matter what, mostly because the perpetrator made it so, not you.

Recommend a soap. Talk about how much you like it.

Some people will miss subtle hints and think you're just a weirdo who likes talking about soap. Just tell the truth, as it is. Hey dude, you kinda stink, mind showering more often? Thanks.
